I found a few websites that I think will be fun for my daughters to enjoy this summer. I thought I'd share in case someone else wanted to check them out!
This first website was included in the last weekly e-mail I received this year from Emily's school. It has instructions for making a super bubble-blower (using paper and masking tape!) and a super bubble-blowing solution. I am excited to try the instructions out! I have tried to make homemade bubbles and bubble wands in the past with very disappointing results--just ask my girls. http://www.zurqui.com/crinfocus/bubble/bubble.html
Emily had a lesson a couple of weeks ago about U.S. National Parks and how they got started. I looked for a website about the parks online and found this website http://www.nps.gov/learn/ . There are sections for teachers and for kids. There are some fun games and activities under the webrangers link http://www.nps.gov/webrangers/ . This website is bound to keep parents and children busy for quite a while!
This next website went along with a lesson Emily had about the coastline http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/efc/rocky.asp . I didn't know what tide pools were before the lesson (I've never even seen the ocean in person), and I thought this website was a great extension of the lesson. Emily liked the song about animals in tide pools http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/lc/activities/lyrics_rocksong.asp?bhcp=1 . It has a catchy beat! Children can see a webcam video of a real tide pool, learn about different animals along the coast, and make their own tide pool. There are other activities to explore beyond the rocky shore activities. This is a really interesting website. There are awesome pictures in the animal section, and there are seperate sections for different habitats. This is the link to the activities section http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/lc/activities/default.asp .
