My top 3.
1. discoveryeducation.com
I LOVE this website. It provides access to a number of pictures and short videos. You search your subject and tons of results come back. You can sort the results by type and by grade level. The videos are commonly split up so you can view them in segments or watch the entire video.
2. adn.com
Anchorage Daily News has an online version of its newspaper. I commonly put a link to the newspaper on my daily learning log. It makes it so easy to make things current for the kids. They get to learn about biology and geology in Alaska. It helps make what we are learning relevant.
3. usgs.gov, avo.alaska.edu
These websites are tied in my list. The United States Geological Society and the Alaska Volcano Observatory have been great in the Geology classroom. The USGS provides information and definitions that my kids and I can access. Sometimes if they are confused about a term after we have discussed it multiple times I tell them to go to the USGS and read about it.
The AVO website has been great this school year. During the fall semester we studied Volcanoes and I was able to show my kids pictures of our active volcanoes and the history of eruptions. Then once Redoubt began to go crazy we checked the website at least once an hour.
