Welcome to Mr. Powlen's Class!
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I found it!) but "That's funny..." ~Isaac Asimov
Great links! Most of them are science related, but there are also some other great ones, too. Click away!

Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago, IL - One of the best musuems around.
Khan Academy - Great site with all kinsd of tutoring type videos. Covers a ton of subjects.

Storyline Online - Wonderful stories read by actors. Guji Guji is one of my favorite books!!
Cool Science Demos - Website by a middle school teacher. Lots of great stuff, mostly good for 5th grade on up. He'll show you how to do some of the experiments I did during the first week of school (those are right here).
If a link does not work, please let me know! More links to come as well. All links I post will be free access, so if they are changed, they may be removed. Have fun!
