Mon., May 9, 2005 - Your Heart
Taken From:
Date Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 9:00 AM
Subject: [Surfnetkids Newsletter] Your Heart ...
How Your Heart Works
http://www.advocatehealth.com/system/info/library/articles/heartcare/howorks.html
"About a hundred times a minute, 100,000 times a day, 36.5 million times a year, your heart keeps the beat . . . the beat of life. That familiar thump, thump, thump tells you that your heart is doing its job pumping blood from the veins to the heart and lungs, where it is replenished with oxygen and then distributed back to the body through the arteries. How does the heart work? Read on." This single-page illustrated introduction to the heart includes links to advice on how to keep your heart healthy.
InnerBody: Cardiovascular System
http://www.innerbody.com/image/cardov.html
[NOTE: Home page previously posted. – Phyllis ]
As you move your mouse over the cardiovascular system, clickable, labeled hot spots (such as heart or pulmonary artery) will appear. Clicking them will display a short article in the left-hand frame. Related images (a cut-view of the heart or a pacemaker) are listed across the top of the page. There are a couple of cool animations (a pumping heart and a flowing cardiovascular system) buried in the yellow left-hand menu. To wander beyond the cardiovascular system, use the blue vertical menu on the left.
Kidshealth.com: All About the Heart
http://kidshealth.org/kid/body/heart_noSW.html
[NOTE: Other pages from http://kidshealth.org/previously posted. - Phyllis
Perfect for elementary and middle-school students, this article clearly illustrates the heart's chambers and valves. "We see and hear about hearts everywhere. A long time ago, people even thought that their emotions came from their hearts, maybe because the heart beats faster when a person is scared or excited. Now we know that emotions come from the brain, and that the brain tells the heart what to do. So what's the heart up to, then? How does it keep busy? What does it look like? Let's find out."

Sun., May 8, 2005 - Art History / Virtual Courseware for Earth and Environmental Science
Taken From:
Date Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2005 6:20 PM
From: Education World Reviews Newsletter
To: anker
Subject: Education World Site Reviews Vol. 9 Issue 5
***************************************************
SPECIAL THIS WEEK: SITES TO SEE
***************************************************
Sites to See: Art History
Art History sites offer teachers, students and the general public unique ways of thinking and learning about art and its development through the ages. These sites include animations, photographs, maps, timelines, interactive games and activities.
http://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/sites/sites053.shtml
[NOTE: Some of the sites were previously posted. – Phyllis ]
*****************************
Virtual Courseware for Earth and Environmental Science
Online interactive activities for earth science.
GRADE LEVELS
6-8
9-12
SITE URL
http://vearthquake.calstatela.edu/
CONTENT: A+
This is an interactive site for middle and high school students that Focuses on earthquakes, flooding and global warming. The biology labs are subscription based but there is plenty of free material here to warrant a visit.
SITE DESIGN: A+
This site is beautifully designed and well organized. The front-page sitemap makes it simple to navigate to the various areas of the site. Flash Player is required.
REVIEW:
This site is supported in part by grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation and the California State University System. It offers a series of online interactive activities designed to encourage students to make careful observations and measurements, do simple calculations and answer questions about their work. A “Certificate of Completion” is available at the end of each activity. Students can save their work and return later. Maps, seismograms, journals and background information can all be printed for reading offline. Teachers can register (free) their classes for the online assessment and return to see the scores after the entire class has finished. There are currently three sections with at least two activities each available for free to everyone. Earthquake or Virtual Earthquake (both lead to the same activities) teachers students how seismic waves are used to determine the magnitude of an earthquake and how to locate its epicenter. Virtual Dating refers to geologic time and focuses on how geologists and archeologists determine the ages of rocks and ancient artifacts. Virtual River offers a series of interactive exercises to help students learn about the river processes such as discharge, flooding, flood frequency, erosion and disposition with questions that check for understanding as you move through the exercise.
