One interesting site that I found using delicious is, a website that is created by National Geographic. This website has great links that explore most, if not all of the topics that are covered in 5th grade science. This site has numerous videos that go in depth about the topics, and the videos are fantastic. I found this site, and the one below by typing in 5th grade science, and the names of the topics I wanted to see. It is interesting to note that you have the opportunity to sign up for various alerts and resources available at this site. The site is excellent and I recommend that science teachers use this as a resource. Read and see more at http://environment.nationalgeographic.com/environment/natural-disasters/forces-of-nature/#.
The second site is one that is created by Discovery Education. This particular site provided a very good lesson plan dealing with weather. The site outlines step by step what needs to be accomplished, and the also has links that assist in helping students understand a certain concept. Please visit http://www.discoveryeducation.com/teachers/free-lesson-plans/weather-maps.cfm.
This is a great site to have linked as one of my science resources. One of the things my students enjoy about science is watching informational videos such as these. It keeps the students engaged while at the same time they are learning information. Thanks for sharing.
