I created a search engine on basic science sites.
.
The idea was to create a list of sites which were educational, scientifically sound and fun. I'm thinking of using it sometime when I'm gone and the kids are with a sub for the day. They'll create mini presentations about something they found interesting and describe the scientific evidence vs. inferences. There was more advertising than I was expecting when I went back and tested the search list via this blog. Its a distraction that will have to be explained to my students. (i.e. qwest.com is not one of the selected sites, etc.) Still, its a good tool to help guide the kids.

I completely agree with you on the advertising - I was quite disappointed by that. Also, so far the Rollyo sharing has been a disappointment - I tried to find something on your search and never got it to find anything. I started with "Scientific method" and moved to "research" and both times came up blank. Perhaps I need more definition of what the sites should yield (clearly I am not a science person!).
Hopefully these are small issues that can be resolved. In all of the Rollyo's from this class, I think we're 2 for 4 not working.
