If I want second grade students to see something neat when we learn dinosaur music we go to one of the best sites out there www.discovery.com. This is the website for the discovery channel. ENDLESS info about many things here!

When first grade students were learning their space show last year we looked at www.space.com. Video, pictures, whatever, if it has something to do with space youll find it there. www.nasa.gov is another great one, find the Apollo gallery in the NASA history section and show the kids video of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon!
