[etni] good source of info for kids doing projects

**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il   http://www.etni.org   ****

Hi All, 
     One of my tenth graders showed me a great site full of articles about how 
an amazing number of things work, with the very appropriate address: 
www.howstuffworks.com . Not only is the author of each article noted after the 
title, but you can click on the author's name and get a short blurb about his 
background and credentials.
     Another project idea - I asked my 11th graders to write a letter to an 
expert in the world - via e-mail, with a specific question related to their 
topics. I wanted to show them that people in the world, even those we don't 
know personally, can be a resource for information. We found that the site of 
the University of Wisconsin has a link called "ask the expert" on it's home 
page. The link is to a page of a list of experts by area of interest and 
includes their e-mail addresses! It was really a thrill for the kids when they 
received answers, as most of them did.
           All the best,
                   Mitzi Geffen
