Environmental Protection Agency Kids’ Stuff This site contains very interactive exercises and games to help students learn about the above curriculum concepts. Text is kept to a minimum. The concepts are learned primarily through colourful and interactive question & answer exercises, hands-on lab-type activities such as building your own watershed, and fact sheets. The site consists of 2 main sections, one for students and the other for teachers. Within each section, all exercises and games are further subdivided into Grades K-3, 4-8, and 9-12. Inside the teachers’ section, there’s a really interesting lab activity where you and your students can actually enact the water filtration process on dirty water. Inside the students’ section, kids will really appreciate all the learning activities through games. This is a beautiful site for anyone visiting it. It’s perfect for students who learn through interactive exercises versus reading. The menu cannot be any clearer, showing the distinct sections for students and teachers, and then the different grade levels within each section. The text is easy to read and understand. Nobody will have trouble navigating the site. The only downside of this site is that the concepts are not explored in great detail. Good facts are provided, but they are never elaborated upon. This is a very good site for both teachers and all students. |
