National Museum of Nuclear Science and History
Grades
6 to 12tag(s): energy (130), nuclear energy (19)
In the Classroom
Possibly the most interesting aspect of this site is the information they have on the Manhattan Project. Access the article via the "History articles," found after searching through the "Online exhibits" section. The article is lengthy but extremely informative and interesting. Separate the article into parts, assigning the separate parts to pairs or cooperative learning groups. Have the class put together a digital book of the history, with students creating their own individual pages from their sections. While it may seem a bit disjointed at first, the students will pick up a lot of the key details and the results will be really entertaining when the class reads it together over the interactive whiteboard or projector. We recommend using a site such as Bookemon, reviewed here for the online book.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Be sure to give yourself sufficient time to investigate this site for the topic you are looking for. Once you find the resources you want to use, you may want to introduce the subject with a video. From there, open the site on the interactive whiteboard or projector, and use the Exhibits as a guide to a lecture on one of the many aspects of your topic. This site would be great in an Earth Science or Physical Geography class.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Science of Hockey - The Exploratorium
Grades
4 to 8In the Classroom
This is the perfect site to use to extend student learning about force and motion while relating them to real-world activities. Break students into small groups to start exploring the different sections. You may want all groups to start with "The Ice" as suggested, and then you can assign or have student groups choose to investigate the other sections. As students investigate the sections they should keep track of what they are learning either by taking notes using a digital tool such as Memo Notepad, reviewed here (tell students to be sure to save the URL to share their notes and questions with you and their peers), or organizing information into a concept map like TUZZit, reviewed here. Once completed challenge students to share their findings with the rest of the groups using an infographic creator such as Canva Infographic Maker, reviewed here. Infographics present difficult information easy to understand format, and Canva has a whole library of templates for you to choose from.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
