The Einstein Project

I wanted to make you aware of an awesome science resource. This website is of particular interest to those of you teaching K-8 science. It is called "The Einstein Project," and the way to access it is by clicking on this URL: http://www.einsteinproject.org/einstein/for+educators/unit+offerings/default.asp

The Einstein Project is a nonprofit organization which promotes the advancement of K-8 hands-on science learning in Wisconsin. Over 40 unit plans for the K-8 science curriculum are provided, including recommended books and websites for each unit.

I think you'll find this very helpful.
