Science Web Sites

Today we worked on food chains and webs, and the jobs of producers, consumers and decomposers. To reinforce these science concepts, the students went to various web sites that helped them put their knowledge into action. Everyone really enjoyed all the activities, so I told them that I would put the sites on the blog for them to do at home.

Enjoy!
