DiscoverySchool.com
http://school.discovery.com I
found this site to be full of helpful pages, in particular the page containing Teacher Lesson Plans.
This lesson plans included everything you might need to teach a particular
theme. It starts with objectives and takes you through to extended reading for
students to enjoy later. There was also a wonderful page of clipart with
animation, simple art, logos, and many other graphics for use in your
classroom. The site is very large with many different pages to choose
from and incorporate the material into
classrooms of all ages.

Ask Dr. Universe
http://www.wsu.edu/DrUniverse/
This website is one of my favorites for children because of the child-friendly graphics and
the subject matter being interesting at any age. Children can ask almost
any question regarding science and the universe and an answer will be returned
through Dr. Universe (the world's most curious cat) checking with the
Washington State University's research department and e-mailing a reply.

OLOGY
http://ology.amnh.org This website is for students and teachers.
There are
activities for children to research through The American Museum of Natural
History. If students want to study a particular time in history they can
become "ologists" for the day. This site allows children to explore and
share their natural curiosity and create projects for others to learn from and
enjoy.

Eduhound-Everything for Education K12
http://www.eduhound.com I really
enjoyed browsing through this website. It is comprehensive in that it
covers almost everything a teacher may need for teaching or administrative
purposes, it has activities and clipart for children to use and enjoy, and
also has multiple links to other websites that can be used for classroom
teaching themes. Children will need to be supervised when they use this
site as everything is not child-oriented.
