I shared this site with my colleagues and added it to my blackboard page to help support parents as they prepare students for our school's upcoming science fair. || Teacher || [] || National Library of Virtual Manipulatives. Great sight for my students to do a form of hands on learning with manipulatives. I don't always have enough for each student and this is a way to get more students actively involved in learning and using math skills! || Teacher || [] || This is a great sight for children and educators to learn about the Rainforest. There are activities and lesson plans and ways to get involved in Saving the Rainforest projects! || A. || Elementary Science || The Water Cycle || This is a movie/song from YouTube teaching students about The Water Cycle. Great for Auditory/Musical Learners! || [] || This link is a great place to find all kinds of lessons on mathematics for every age level. The lesson that I was really interested in was "Fishing for the best Prism" It is under Geometry 6-12. I loved teaching geometry and I think the studentsd would really enjoy this hands on lesson.

It was a game where you had to have all the circles add up to 3 and they were all interlinked great for students to practice problem solving. Many more games on this website check it out! ||
