This is a link to a Stanford web site about our solar system. Check your knowledge or just check out a cool site created by a top university.  

Super Science- In science, we sometimes read from this magazine. The magazine is has cool science connections to what are covering (or have covered) in the classroom. Click here to see an EPA word search that can be printed off and completed for extra credit in Mr. Anderson's science class.

Environmental - This is a cool site that has all kinds of fun games for kids that relate to water conservation, ecosystems, human health , and recycling.

www.africam.com - We have been learning about animal classification in science. We have been able to visit animals of the African Savannah live at this website.

Severe Weather - Get a preview of our end of the year unit on weather. This site has a neat 8 minute video on tornadoes.Though 4th grade no longer covers weather this video clip is cool and will remain on my list of links.

Pompeii - visit the site of the lost city in Italy. We are discovering the power of Earths land resources in science and this site displays the city that was covered by volcanic ash. 

Mount Vesuvius web cam - see the volcano that erupted in 79 AD and is predicted to erupt again every 2,000 years.

Bay City We have gone to the state park in Bay City and enjoyed many outdoor activities. This is a link to the DNR's website. You can find national parks and locate different parks around the state.

NOAA - this is a link to real time infrared radar of the entire US. It is hosted by the government or .gov. We cover GOES stationary satellites used to help predict weather in science. This type of site helps us understand how we use technology in science in today's world. 

Isaac's Storm This site is dedicated to the "Storm of 1900." This storm was one of the worst hurricanes to hit the America's. It taught us a lot about how to prepare for bad weather.

The Great Long Island Hurricane - This site shows the damage that was created by a hurricane the swept the NE Coast by surprise. This storm charged four hundred miles into Canada reeking havoc where ever it went.

Weather.com - This is a site that can give you an hour by hour weather report 24 hours a day anywhere in the U.S. 

Earth View- View the Earth in all of its magnificent glory from space, in real time. This link is out of this world literally. You can view real time pictures of Earth's unnatural lights at night. Looking at these cities, from space, at night, is a wonderful sight.

Food Pyramid - Here is a link to help student make healthy choices. This is a fun game Mrs. Keenan, our PE-Nut specialist, recommended.

Gone Fishing - In fourth grade we use a specimen collection device (fishing pole) to gather a variety of different vertebrates when take a field trip to the Linden Mill Pond. Then we classify them in to groups according to their characteristics. We use this link to help prepare our understanding of the aquatic ecosystem. This is a neat and valuable resource.

Almanac Link- This site is a guide to starting plants indoors or outdoors. 

Facts About Fish This goes with one of the web quest activities we do in the classroom.

Fishing & Education - This is a link to an fun and educational fishing site. 

Virtual Owl Pellet - Dissect a virtual owl pellet here. If that link doesn't work copy and paste this into your address bar: http://www.kidwings.com/owlpellets/flash/v4/index.htm 

Amazing Simulations -this is an awesome site for setting up series and parallel circuits shared with me by Mr. Coombe at the middle school.

Series simulator -this is a more specific page from the amazing simulations link. Students use this simulator to create a circuit. 

Properties of matter- This page has many links including videos about chemistry.

Consumers Energy -Here is a link to some fun activities offered by Consumers Energy. This relates to the magnets electricity unit covered in fourth grade.

Become A storm Spotter - This is good link that came to us from the great state of Maine. In an e-mail a young student named Jacob told me that my site was missing this wonderful link. I couldn't agree more, growing up surfing in MI I always kept my eye to sky to figure out when the waves would arrive. As I learned more about tornados I became more interested in weather. This site has a lot of informative links.
