[ISLMA-Share] Science Expo Research

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

This ought to help them get started:  http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/learn/
I would check other parts of this site as well...in navigating to this
page, I saw lots of other good things.  Also, scroll down to the bottom of
the page for links to other NASA sites that may be useful.  I also love the
Wonderopolis, Exploratorium, and Franklin Institute websites.  All kinds of
topics there. They may have to dig a little, but I believe in the power of
serendipity!

In addition, check  your public library's online resources.  Perhaps they
offer Facts on File Today's Science, or Grolier New book of Popular
Science.  Hope these help!  Best wishes!
