There's a lot on the Internet for kids. There's also a lot by kids. ThinkQuest is an international student contest that encourages students to form teams, use information technology and create Web-based educational tools. Here's two sites great sites from ThinkQuest participants:
Students from John K. Kennedy High School collaborated with a high school in Sweden to create Learning About Leonardo . This delightful project explores the mystery behind the Mona Lisa smile by comparing the theory of Dr. Lillian Schwartz and Rina de Firenze, author of Mystery of the Mona Lisa through scientific inquiry. There are a dozen da Vinci diversions to explore, including listening to Leonardo's original music and an interactive quiz. Multilingual musical postcards can be created in one of seventeen languages. The site includes many multidisciplinary resources in Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, Special Education, and Business and Health links which were contributed by teachers.
El Niño is another wonderful site created by 3 high school students from around the world! This site uses great design and "cool" graphics to illustrate the causes, effects and other things about El Niño. It's a great site for kids, students, and graduates alike!
Great job ThinkQuest participants. Keep up the good work!!!
