We commonly use the internet to find ideas for activities that we use in our ScienceQuest Program.  The following links are the favorites of both the middle school and graduate students.

• Google Earth (Check out this easy program that allows you to view Earth (and even your own home) from satellites and more)

• Mars Rovers (Watch the rovers as they explore Mars!)

• Volcano watch (view current eruptions)

• Extreme Science ('nuff said)

• Fun Experiments from Bayer (in Spanish too!)

• Bill Nye the Science Guy (who doesn't love Bill Nye?)

• Why Oceanographers Love their Jobs (very fun video).

• Great videos and songs about climate change and other science (includes Polar-PALOOZA Take Aim music video).

• Great Experiments for elementary kids at PBS kids

• The Periodic Table of the elements with videos and demonstrations: http://www.periodicvideos.com/ (hilarious and informative).

• Polymer Science.  Kid friendly science experiments with plastic bottles.

• Learn about electricity!

• Great videos on Earth Science:  The nine big ideas.
