Edison Invents!
"My pick-of-the-day site is another gem from the Smithsonian. I chose it because it combines multimedia with a well-written feature article, and best of all, it begins with a game. Depending on your mood, there are two ways to navigate Edison Invents! The fun way is to play the Flash concentration game (match Edison’s inventions) and then to travel around the game board, clicking on the icons representing phases of Edison’s life. The more direct route (for those of you with homework due) is to click on Edison’s Story."

Edison After Forty
"In 1887, at the age of 40 - with a new wife, a new home, a new winter retreat - Thomas Alva Edison set up shop in a new and grandiose laboratory. There he hoped to recapture and ultimately surpass the inventiveness he had enjoyed in the much smaller laboratory he had used a few years earlier. Edison’s goal proved elusive. Edison After Forty, produced by the Smithsonian, is a unique look at the demands that success placed upon the prolific inventor."
