Yesterday I was reading a book about wetlands for possible inclusion in our new SIAS wetlands kit. It was a really good book, and on the last page there was a website - facthound.com. I checked it out, and it was a really neat idea!
When you go there, you can type in anything you're interested in learning about, from wetlands to animals to ghosts, and they'll give you three age-appropriate book recommendations! The site is very parent and child friendly, and doesn't have any annoying pop-ups or inappropriate material.
Check it out and let me know what you think!

Hey Kristen, this is Nancy. I love all the posts and it has been great hearing about these helpful resources. My son is preparing for his first end of grade test in science and I really appreciate the support the Resource Center gives to moms/educators like me.
I wanted to share a link I saw in the lastest issue of FOSS (Full Option Science System) Magazine. Teachers recommend helpful science education links to their peers and I thought this was engaging and easy for children to use : http://www.globio.org/glossopedia/default.aspx
Please share with others, it's pretty cool!
Thanks!
Wow Nancy! This is a great link for students and educators! It might just help me with our new SIAS Wetlands kit! Thanks for the tip:)
