A Homeschool, Whole Grain Way of Life
|
I wrote the National Wildlife Federation (http://www.nwf.org/) to ask about services on their websites for Educators, (*specifically homeschool moms and dads, like us!)
They wrote back, "We have a few sites for Educators. First, for animal research and questions we have www.enature.com, this site has information on plants and animals, excellent for science biology. We have www.frogwatch.org, this site is a documenting site based on research of how knowing what is happening to frog affects humans.
Next we have www.climateclassroom.org, this site has a Educators guide to help teach about global warming, with downloads for a slide show. We also have www.greenhour.org. This is a site to help Educators encourage children to go out side and play. Lastly we have www.nwf.org, under magazines then under Ranger Rick, there is a green idex with an Edcuator's Guide. In this guide there are activities, some with plans for Educators, games, stories and more. We hope you have fun exploring this and all the other sites."
I've had fun touring some of these sites, and so far here were a few of my favorite pages!
http://www.nwf.org/yellowstone/ - click on an animal and you can learn more about them! http://www.enature.com/home/ - Use their field guide to search more than 5,500 species! This is great because I clicked on snakes, and could click on the snake's photo again to enlarge it some! They have reptiles, amphibians, insects - oh wow, we could spend some MAJOR time on that site!
http://www.greenhour.org/ - had great info/tools, too! With these wonderful "tools", you can really get up close and personal with more nature info than you can imagine!
