This month’s Greatest Hits are brought to you by Maureen
Kelly of Sacred Heart School who spent a few hours at the ETTC of
Burlington for a World Wide Web Wednesday workshop last month in
search of ”out of this world” websites for her seventh
grade astronomy unit. Here’s some of the places she visited:
Plan a
trip to the Astronomy Cafe for a “far-out adventure
at the outer frontier of space and time.” Site creator Dr.
Sten Odenwald, a Harvard educated PhD, is your guide through site
links featuring videos and sounds from outer space.
Star
Journey with National Geographic includes a Quicktime VR
view of the stars via the Hubble Space Telescope.
Ask Dr. Universe
(who is actually a professor at Washington State University who
communicates and confers with experts) any burning questions
about astronomy that come to mind. All answers and replies come
to students by e-mail.
