Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

This annotated guide to 440 Web sites includes over 100 new to this edition that were selected to tie in to National Science Standards and inquiry-based learning, and to encourage independent studies. Organized into 13 topics covered in most K-12 school curricula, the entries include museums, libraries, schools, scientific labs, and government and university sites. The URLs have been selected for their interactive features; those recommended for primary students are marked with a symbol. Cross-references and a comprehensive index make it easy to locate sites to extend lesson resources beyond textbooks. The authors promise to post URL changes on the publisher's Web site to keep the addresses up-to-date. An accessible, useful resource that will add pizzazz to any lesson plan.-Sandra L. Doggett, Urbana High School, Ijamsville, MD
