Exploring the Possibilies of PBLs (some tools)

Teachers that are covering CLOUDS, atmospheric conditions, projects on water or weather, or basic natural sciences might use this as a part of their presentation. The layout is simple and easily read. The pictures are colorful and easy to navigate through. At the bottom of the page there are links to related teachable information that could develop into an entire lesson if the teacher so wanted. I can see students learning from this and teaching their parents what kind of clouds are in the sky.

How cool is this!! It has been years since I've studied Ohms Law, but after playing with THIS SIMULATION would pick up and read a chapter on it. As a tool in the classroom, this one page interactive diarama could spark student interest and would be reffered back to after each stage of a lesson. The grades listed are 3-12. While the graphics would catch the eye of a third grader, the lesson's information would probablly be more for high school students.
