Constructivist Websites for Students

1. NASA Kid's Club
This site is a great exploration site of space and our solar system. There are animated videos you can watch about space shuttle launches, astronauts, and other topics. There are also games you can play and lists of activities that you can do that are related to learning more about space. The games are not problem-based, but more of learning basic information. Another thing I really like about this site is that it is level based so kids of all ages can play.

2. Enchanted Learning
This site is great for kids and teachers to find fun projects to do and activities to go along with lessons, such as maps, flags, pictures to lable the different parts, and many more. It's one of my favorite sites to look around and see what new things they have.

3. National Geographic Kids
Students can go on the Lewis and Clark expedition and travel on their journey. They make important decisions as they go, such as navigating rivers and deciding what to bring on their journey. It asks questions about these decisions, and students click on the answer they chose.

4. Brain Pop
This site contains hundreds of animated shorts that explain content from all areas. Children take quizzes and perform various activities to apply what they have learned.
