To that end, they are keeping a close eye on El Niño. Filled with graphs and technical explanations, this site is an excellent starting point for advanced research. For example, you can view real-time data such as ocean temperatures transmitted via satellite from buoys in the tropical Pacific Ocean. Wow!

New England Foliage Central
Reviewed October 3, 1999 by Kimberly Knox, a reader from Hartford, CT who is affiliated with the site. Hi Barbara! I’d love it if you’d recommend the New England Foliage Central part of the New England for Visitors site that I produce for About.com under "Fall Colors." It’s a one-stop hub for New England fall foliage information that was called "the Web’s best guide to regional tours" in the October 1999 issue of "Yahoo! Internet Life" magazine. I’ve also just heard recently from two elementary school classes in southern Florida that are using the "Outside My Window" feature accessible from Foliage Central to follow the changing season with me here in Connecticut. ther family-friendly components include fall crafts projects for kids, cyber-leaf peeping via Web cams, a Q&A with a professional photographer on photographing fall foliage, pumpkin and apple recipes from New England inns, and more. Thanks so much for your consideration. All best wishes, Kim Knoxx About.com Guide to New England for Visitors

Natural Gemstones
"A natural gemstone is a mineral, stone, or organic matter that can be cut and polished or otherwise treated for use as jewelry or other ornament. A precious gemstone has beauty, durability, and rarity, whereas a semiprecious gemstone has only one or two of these qualities. The resource site from the U.S. Geological Survey contains definitions and reference material such as the Chemical Formulas of Gemstones and the hardness of gemstones. "Hardness of a gemstone is its resistance to scratching and may be described relative to a standard scale of 10 minerals known as the Mohs scale.""

National Arbor Day Foundation: Carly’s Kids Corner
"The kids section of the National Arbor Day Foundation site is my pick of the day site because it integrates fun with learning. It has a great selection of games (with corny names such as "Who wants to be a Treelionaire?" and "Treevial Pursuit"), educational articles ("Trees Make a Difference"), and community activity ideas ("Kids Make a Difference.") Clicks not to be missed include "What Tree is That?" (a feature by feature guide to tree identification) and the classroom activities you’ll find by moving your mouse over the little red schoolhouse."
