Lisa Bair, Penn Wynne I found this and thought it was fun. This would be very cool on the SMART board. //[|Virtual Reality Brain Project]

Melissa McGuire, Cynwyd Elementary School 1. Found this really neat lesson plan....it is great for meeting the needs of gifted learners and a fabulous "Enlarger" activity. I suggested it to a second grade teacher needing ideas for differentiation (they are working with setting and plot). http://edsitement.neh.gov/view_lesson_plan.asp?id=419

2. Just found this to supplement the book One Well: The Story of Water on Earth http://www.nytimes.com/learning/teachers/lessons/20070913thursday.html?searc hpv=learning_lessons Pages 20-21 of the book are a great lead in for this....After brainstorming and discussion about wealthy vs poor countries, and gathering ideas for how water is retrieved in poor countries, I think I am going to read the NY Times article to my kids, watch the slideshow, and then have them work on designs/inventions for carrying and transporting water.
