The images and literature are easy to understand; this may be acceptable for children as young as those in elementry. It does not go into great detail which is suitable for the audiance. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=759615 This video is something I believe everyone should watch. It goes against what the religious beliefs that many of us are taught. The video does not explain any of the occurances taking place but gives a visual presentation of what is unanimous throughout the science community. I believe if this video is shown to children while they are still in the adolescent stages of their development, it will stick with them. The visuals and chosen and the processes that occur through out the video explain why and how everythin is here and living. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=759337 This site is a great reference site for elementry teachers to introduce their students to the basics of human anatomy and bacis physiologic responses. This site does not go into great detial of material and is not dense with material so that children may interactive with the lecture and not overwhelmed. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=759363 The formation of nucliec acids that lead to the genetic material responseible for all life forms http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=759367 This website contains information that is useful for children as an introduction to evolution. This is a simple and easy way to introdce the principles of evolution. There are no specifics on the mechanisms which is important because this would be to advanced for young children. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=759361 Something to look for when stargazing; changes daily. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=759359 Physics of sound, especially concerning underwater sound.
