 * Title:** National Geographic Kids

 * Comments:** This site supports teaching and learning because it shows a ton of real world examples in the world around us to how science can apply to just about anything. Because of this is makes learning much more interesting because we can see it happening right before our eyes. Some limitations of this site are just the fact that it only includes articles and not very many terms and facts. This site could only be used if there was another one to go along with it. Only this way could the articles be used effectively for kids to learn. As stated before these articles could be shown to the class so they are able to see how science applies to every day occurances. Along with these articles the kids need to be shown extra information along with it which describes and defines all of the different terms that are depicted in the article.

This site I did like. I think there are a lot of good articles. They did lack some terms but overall they would be good tools to use. I also this if you were teaching middle school students or lower this would be a age appropriate web site. The one thing i really liked that i would use as a teacher is the activities. I saw a lot of cool science things do use like the one to simulate the ocean. This could be really fun things to do with a class to keep them engaged with what they are learning.

 * Comments:** This site supports teaching and learning because it has a vast amount of information that can be used to teach many different subjects of science as well as giving students the ability to learn from having access to so much information. I think that if i used this website in my classroom then my students would have an extremely easy time navigating through the site so they would be able to learn quite a bit from it. One limitation of this website is that it includes links that go to books that need to be bought. So not having the books would limit the amount of learning that could occur. There are plenty of games and quizes on this website so it could be used as a good way to review for the class. Along with having review potential the website has a couple of people that can be interviewed. This is a good way for the classroom to get hands on learning from different people.

This website could be used by teacher to get ideas for science project for elementary aged children. It has experiments in the areas of archeology, anthropology, astronomy, biodiversity, and the earth. This website does have its limitations because it is not filled with information that students could use. The information that is given is very broad and only has a couple sentences for each section. Also this website includes too many links. You have to click multiple links to get to any sort of educational information. This would be distracting for students to follow. However this would be a great website for a teacher to use to gain ideas on how to teach their students about science in an interactive way. AV
