Die.net is a
fantastic web site that uses satellite views of the earth and moon in what is
close to real time. The site is a
wonderful support for your science lessons and also a fun way to talk about the
changes the earth goes through with the water cycle and rotation.
I have used this
site for my morning opening, asking the students to notice weather and air
current changes over the course of a week.
I have also used it in the fall of the school year to discuss the
formation of hurricanes off the African coast as they move across the Atlantic
Ocean.
Notice that there
are different map views and this site shows the termination line, a great way
to talk about time zones. It is just a fun, interesting tool.
Happy
Exploration!
