Edheads.org (Patti Kaderavek - Technology Coordinator Sauk Prairie School District) This is one of my favorite web sites on the Internet. It is interactive and includes sound throughout the activities. It is inteneded for science, math and critical thinking. [|http://www.edheads.org] Sponsors include Case Western Reserve University and Ohio Medical Center, plus a list of other sponsors. The Executive Director is Gail Wheatley. The grade levels that could use this site are grades 4 through 8 or maybe even higher. It is just plain fun. It includes activities for weather, virtual knee replacement, simple machines, compound machines and other activities.
