Constructivist Sites

1) National Geographic Kids
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/west/
This site provides an interactive activity about the Lewis and Clark expedition. Students go with Lewis and Clark on their journey, making important decisions as they go, such as navigating rivers and deciding what to bring with them on their journey. It asks questions about those decisions, and students click on the answer they chose. One important aspect about this site is the feedback provided about their choices. This teaches students to discover on their own, and provides them with information so they learn from their choices.

2) BrainPop
http://www.brainpop.com/

This site contains hundreds of animated shorts that explains content from all areas. Children take quizzes and perform various activities to apply what they have learned.

3) Hands on Plastics Jr.
http://www.handsonplastics.com/hop_jr/activities/index.html
This is a great site because it has different interactive games that student can play. It also quizzes students when they are done with then ganme on what they learned. The plastic and saftety quiz is very fun and informative.

4) Chocolate Chip Cookies: To Eat or Not to Eat
http://collier.k12.fl.us/weblessons/cookiewq/index.htm
This site is very interactive and would be easy for students to use. It would work great with a health unit.
