For an even more in-depth experience be sure to visit the section of our site called, "Student Observation Network (S.O.N.)". This section will show you how you and your child can make use of real scientific data, observe the Sun, make predictions, conduct on-line collaborations and track solar storms!

Web Quests - The Sun Earth Day website has resources of all types for use in a classroom. This year's resources are quite diverse. This is an opportunity for students to use these resources to answer a question. Below is a suggestion of how a web quest could be done with a single question for an elementary student. The older students, who have had practice using the web and doing their own research, will be able to find the answers to all their questions about the Sun Earth Connection. Students can pose their own question and search through the website to discover the answer. Don't forget to Ask the Scientist if other questions arise and you need more resources. Join the Search!
