SCOPE AND SEQUENCE (Typical Courses of Study)

As a source of information, World Book offers the results of ongoing research into curriculum requirements and standards. The learning levels include preschool through grade 12. Naturally, there are regional and local variations that cannot be accounted for in every detail. But the typical course of study reflects general curriculum requirements across North America. The information is categorized by grade level and general skill type or discipline. http://www.worldbook.com/wb/Students?curriculum

Following are some interesting sites.  I hope you enjoy them.  I will be putting additional links here from time to time.  If you have something you think would fit here, let me know.

Nikola Tesla was a brilliant and flamboyant showman.  He held 700 patents and his discoveries include the tesla coil, fluorescent light, and radio.  He would connect himself to a very high voltage electrical source and proceed to demonstrate some of the fascinating things that high voltage will do.  I found the high voltage "shower" quite interesting.  Seems the high voltage would literally blow the dirt and dead skin off his body.  Visit The Tesla Society for more information.

NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has several wonderfully informative sites available.  Click  NASA to access their home page and the space program as well as some really nice educational materials.  These materials are for both students and teachers.  (For us home schoolers, "teachers"  means Mom and Dad.)

WOW!!  Talk about some really cool photographs from outer space!!  Visit the Jet Propulsion Labs web site!

Are you interested in eclipses?  This site will give you information as well as where and when the next one will be.

Going camping?  Need a weather report?  Try the National Weather Service.  Don't just go there for the weather.  They have some neat satellite pictures of storms, too. 

Remember the Hubbel Telescope?  You know the one that was out of focus when they put it in space?  Well, it's in focus now and taking some AWESOME pictures from space.  There are some web sites about sunspots as well.  This one is at NASA.  It shows current sunspot activity pictures.  The one at Rice has some other interesting information about sunspots.

Speaking of the Hubbel, did you ever wonder how a space shuttle works?  Look here and find out.  Ever wonder how other stuff (like cd players and video cameras) works?  VERY interesting page.

A friend just sent me an interesting link called spaceweather.com.  It has a number of links showing solar events, solar flares, etc.  It also gives dates for upcoming space type events.

Did you know that NASA also does earth science studies?

If you want to operate a demonstration of a nuclear power plant, you can do that here.
