Periodic Table

The best teachers have a special gift for putting a fresh face on the same
old material. If you found chemistry dull and boring in high school, this
site may change your mind. It is one of the most interesting and visually
stunning sites we have ever reviewed.

The Royal Society of Chemistry has created a fascinating virtual look into
the Periodic Table of Elements. The site offers an original artistic
interpretation of each element, information on its history, electron
configuration and current uses.

A Photo Guide of Megaliths

Megalith designs such as standing stones, stone circles and stone rows
provide some of the most interesting and picturesque prehistoric British
attractions. From Stonehenge to the Neolithic Skara Brae, their mysterious
nature are awesome reminders of the prehistoric human experience.

Megalithic Mysteries provides a stunning photographic guide to Megaliths in
England, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands and Ireland complete with
detailed maps, height and width of the stones and the known uses of the
given Megaliths.

The Secret Garden of Mutabor

What do a crying squirrel, a fish with Pac Man-shaped eyes, a bunch of snap
rabbits, and a beautiful queen have in common? Enter The Secret Garden of
Mutabor and you will find out.

While the site is geared towards children, I was taken by the incredible
graphics, clues and comments from the Garden's characters. It is easily one
of most entertaining sites on the net.

How can the drama and power of an actual earthquake be brought online? It’s

can expect to learn about the basics of earthquakes, including some nice
sections on plate tectonics, faults, and how scientists measure such
phenomena. As the Exploratorium is based on San Francisco, visitors should
not be surprised to find that the section titled “Great Shakes” includes
information on the 1906 earthquake and the devastating quake of 1989 as
well. There are some nice video clips here, including a video taken during

FDA Centennial [pdf]
http://www.fda.gov/centennial/default.htm

On June 30th 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt signed the Food and Drugs
Act, which prohibiting interstate commerce in misbranded and adulterated
foods, drinks, and drugs. Broadly understood, this action was part of the
Progressive Movement in the United States which brought forth a number of
substantial changes in the way that government interacted with private
industry and so on. 100 years on, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
decided to celebrate the centennial of this act by creating this site.
Starting at the homepage, visitors can learn about events created to
celebrate the FDA’s legacy as well as read a nice feature titled “This Week
in FDA History”. Visitors may also want to look through a nice graphic
presentation titled “FDA’s Role in Protecting and Promoting Public Health”.
Through images and text, this presentation brings together some highlights
of their work over the years, including information about the effects of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938. Finally, the site also
contains a short quiz on FDA history. [KMG]

100th Anniversary 1906 San Francisco Earthquake Conference [Real Player, pdf]
http://www.1906eqconf.org/


Residents of San Francisco, it is safe to say, are accustomed to change and
upheaval, whether it is in terms of the American cultural revolution of the
1960s or the ground physically moving underneath their feet. Keeping this in
mind, it is no surprise that the city commemorated the traumatic events of
April 18, 1906 in a variety of ways this past Tuesday. For many, the keynote
event was a gathering of dignitaries and elderly survivors of that mighty
quake that took place in the early morning hours this past Tuesday at the
city’s historic Lotta’s Fountain. Here, wreaths were laid down to honor the
dead, and Mayor Gavin Newsom delivered a short address, and remarked that
“We rebuilt, and we are stronger and better than ever.”. The optimistic mood
at this event seemed to mirror a broader sentiment that was conveyed in the
results of a recent poll taken throughout the Golden State. Essentially, the
Field Poll noted that most Californians don’t think earthquakes pose any
greater danger than other natural disasters and three in four think they
could probably survive an even larger tremor, if one were to occur. [KMG]

The first link will take users to a news article from The Seattle Times that
reports on the various celebrations and commemorations that took place this
week in San Francisco. The second link leads to a rather compelling story
from the San Jose Mercury News about the results of a recent poll that asked
Californians about the likelihood of another major quake in the region. The
third link leads to a host of National Public Radio stories that address
various issues surrounding the earthquake, including artists seeking to
commemorate the earthquake in a variety of ways. The fourth link leads to a
rather impressive collection of multimedia presentations on the history of
the quake from the San Francisco Chronicle that includes a collection of
historic postcards and oral histories from those who survived the events of
that day. The fifth link leads to the homepage of the 1906 Earthquake
Centennial Alliance, which serves as a clearinghouse of information on
various ongoing activities designed to reflect on the legacy of this event.
The final link leads to the homepage of a conference designed to provide
contemporary information on the ramifications of a large-scale earthquake
around the Bay Area, and how various groups might prepare for such an event.

“This week's document was written on the morning of April 9, 1865. In it, Robert E. Lee conceded defeat in a mere sentence sent to Ulysses S. Grant. He requests "a suspension of hostilities pending the discussion of the terms of surrender." An endorsement by General Edward O.C. Ord on the lower fold, made at 11:55 AM, indicates that the letter was read and acted upon.”

History Matters: The U.S. Survey Course on the Web [Real Player, pdf]
[Last reviewed on September 22, 1998]
http://historymatters.gmu.edu/

Since the History Matters website was first profiled in the Scout Report
close to eight years ago, they have expanded their reach to include a host
of lovely new features. All the while, still maintaining their key
strengths in providing access to high-quality teaching resources for high
school and college students and teachers of American history. Arriving on
the site, visitors will find three primary sections: “Many Pasts”, “Making
Sense of Evidence”, and “www.history”. In “Many Pasts”, visitors can explore
over 1000 primary documents, including photographic images and audio
interviews. “Making Sense of Evidence” provides material on how historians
approach resources as they attempt to craft intelligent and erudite
narratives. The final section, “www.history”, contains brief reviews of over
800 websites that address various aspects of American history. The site also
contains a number of other gems, including “Secrets of Great History
Teachers”, which features interviews with those who impart the knowledge of
the ages with wisdom and insight. [KMG] [NOTE: Previously posted. - Phyllis ]

British History Online
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/

British history to some might be thought of as a dense thicket of county
records, complex lineages, and other such foibles that make the story of
these modestly-sized islands all the more delectable. Fortunately for those
interested in these “histories”, there is the British History Online
website. Created by the Institute of Historical Research and the History of
Parliament Trust, the site contains a rather staggering array of material,
ranging from the journals of the House of Commons to ordnance survey maps
from across the nation. Apart from browsing through these resources,
visitors can also utilize a series of tabs running across the top of the
homepage that compartmentalize the materials here into such categories as
places and subjects. Some of the subject headings include agriculture
history, historical geography, and social history. One additional nice
feature is the “Recent Journal Entries” section, where visitors can learn
about recent and upcoming additions to the already impressive selection of
primary historical resources offered here. [KMG] [NOTE: Previously posted. - Phyllis ]

American Journalism Review [pdf]
http://www.ajr.org/

Published under the careful hand of staff members at the Philip Merrill
College of Journalism at the University of Maryland, the American Journalism
Review comes out six times a year. The print magazine is available here for
the general public in an electronic format, and contains articles ranging
from the changing media landscape in the United States and to discussions
about whether newsrooms should use the names of illegal immigrants in their
reporting on various events. If visitors so desire, they may also browse the
archives of this publication all the way back to 1991. Those in the field of
journalism (or those who are just curious about the field) should browse on
over to the “Resources” area. Here they can learn about journalism
fellowships and look over a list of helpful “Reporters’ Tools”, which are
essentially links to like-minded sites. For those looking for a break from
the normal supply of stoic headlines, there is the “Take 2” area of the
site. With just a click of the mouse, users can read a number of funny
errors and clever headlines culled straight from the wide world of the
American media. [KMG]

Early Modern Culture: An Electronic Seminar
http://emc.eserver.org/default.html

As their mission statement notes, Early Modern Culture is dedicated to
creating an online space that recreates, in the virtual sense, the “active
and on-going inquiry of a good seminar.” A lofty goal indeed, and their
laudable results are available here for the consideration of those who are
drawn to the milieu of dialogue and dissent as mediated through the keyboard
and the glare of a computer monitor. Edited by Crystal Bartolovich of
Syracuse University and David Siar of Winston-Salem State University, the
journal contains commentaries on early modern women and the often-lively
Electronic Seminar area, where various learned persons trade informed and
compelling remarks on their works. Visitors should also note that previous
issues of the journal are available here in the archive. [KMG]

A Victorian Anthology, 1837-1895
http://www.bartleby.com/246/

Back in the salad days of the British Empire, there was a Queen named
Victoria. She defined an age in a way that few could do today, and certainly
not for sixty years. While her writings are not represented in this fine
online collection, it contains writings of many who flourished during her
long reign. Bartleby.com recently placed the complete “A Victorian
Anthology, 1837-1895” here, and visitors will be most delighted when they
browse through its contents. Edited by one Edmund Clarence Stedman, this
magnum opus contains 1274 works by 343 authors. It should be noted that the
entire work is comprised of poems, so those seeking lines from Lord Jim or
Martin Chuzzlewit may need to look elsewhere. Of course, those who are
temped by the quatrains of Yeats, Arnold, or Rossetti will want to linger
awhile. [KMG]

EVOLUTION, SLIDING THROUGH TIME, John Kyrk, (suggested by David
Robison, Wilson High School, Wilson, NY), this has to be one of the most
unique tours of earth history. Just move the slider to progress from
the Big Bang to the Cenozoic. Whenever you stop moving animations and
annotated text will appear, highlighting important events. This Flash
animation seems best designed for the Explorer browser. Be sure to check

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, HANDOUTS AND LINKS, University of North Carolina,
(suggested by Virginia Malone, educational consultant, Hondo, TX), this
site can help you teach students to write scientific reports. It
includes why we write reports, why we set up tables and graphs the way
we do and some samples. The reading level limits this to high school and
above. However the content is applicable at all grades.

OCEANS AND SEAS, UCAR, (suggested by Bryan L. Aivazian, the Digital
Water Education Library - DWEL), the site provides a good introduction
to the structure of the ocean. Included are excellent graphics and text
about patterns of ocean salinity and temperature with depth, as well as
surface currents, deep ocean circulation and even the water cycle.
Extensive in-text links provide the means for users to explore the
content in an open-ended fashion, although some might find the lack of
any obvious top-level navigation to be disorienting. The site also
provides three reading and background levels to choose from on each page
- beginner, intermediate or advanced.
