Each month (or so) we will post a favorite website as suggested by an EHE member.
September, 2008
ELF - A website that reminds you when your library books are due!
June, 2008
yourgenome.org - From the site -- "a website intended to help people understand genetics and genomic science and the implications for us all." (suggested by Annie G.)
April, 2008
B.J. Pinchbeck's Homework Helper - Apologies if people are already familiar with this mammoth collection of excellent homework sites for kids! B. J. is in college now, but he started the site when he was nine, and it used to be hosted by the Discovery Channel. It has dozens of helpful sites for math, social studies, English, science, foreign languages and more. (suggested by Lesley W.)
March, 2008
eNature.com - A very rich resource on animals and plants, but its most useful feature is perhaps the large number of field guides that can be searched or browsed. One can also search by ZIP code, giving kids an opportunity to learn about the wildlife in their areas. (suggested by Julia M.)
February, 2008
Living Math Forum - "an on-topic list dedicated to the discussion of 'living math' - mathematics education incorporating living books and materials with or without traditional curricula as the primary learning tool." (suggested by Eileen R.)
