Online Resources for Teaching Elementary Science

Check out http://www.kidsites.com/sites-edu/science.htm! It has a ton of links to interactive science websites, and it for a would be a great resource it use in the classroom! I've clicked on most of the links, and I've enjoyed every single site listed! I've learned a ton of new and super interesting info too!

One link in particular that I enjoyed a lot is Color Matters.  It's a website about how important color is in our world, and how the concept of color can be explored in terms of psychology, physiology, design and science.  I found the section "Color and Appetite Matters" fascinating! Apparently the color blue is an appetite suppressant! 
There's also a section called Color Matters for Kids, with articles on topics like why school buses are yellow, and how/why colors are symbolically tied to genders, cultures, etc. 

Another link I enjoyed a lot and I think would be a great classroom resource is Funology.com. This website explores "the science of having fun", and provides tons of science facts, along with experiments, crafts, recipes, magic tricks, games and more! One activity that caught my eye was instructions on how to make an "indoor rainbow" with a basin of water, a mirror and a flashlight.  I'm going to try it and see if it works! There are a ton of other really great and creative ideas. You have to check the site out!
