Build It & Bust It
""Welcome! This is a site about engineering. Perhaps we should say this is a site FOR engineering. The point is, you won’t be spoon-feed dull information. Here, you will design and test your own structures and share what you learn with others." Double wow! Builder is a Java applet to build structures (such as bridges and towers) using joints and beams. Once your structure is saved, it can be seen from all angles with the Viewer and stress tested with the Tester. Do not attempt any of this, however, without first reading the instructions. This unbelievably terrific site is my pick of the week."

Breaking Through: The Creative Engineer
"Creativity is usually thought of in terms of the arts: painting, acting, dancing, singing, sculpting. It is rare to reflect on the creative impulse of engineers, but Breaking Through does just that. This virtual exhibit exploring creativity through the work of modern engineers is organized around eight themes: challenging, connecting, visualizing, collaborating, harmonizing, reorienting, and synthesizing. "The examples illustrate the range and variety of creative engineering at the end of the 20th century." Put this site on your don’t-miss-it list."

Brain Pop
Reviewed February 26, 2001 by BC, a teacher from GA who is not affiliated with the site. This site provides interesting and factual movies for 72 health topics. These movies inform students about their body and how it works. There are also experiments, activity pages, timelines and quizs. Also, there are movies for science and technology. Students have the opportunity to send in their own questions to be answered. It really keeps the attention of my active second grade class. Adults should be aware that this site is for grades 1 through 12 so they may need to provide guidance as to what topics may be chosen.
