The following list contains links for the Internet sites mentioned in the publication Science on the Web: Web Activities Using Scientific Data (Poppe, McAllister, & Richardson, 1998). This page was created to assist a workshop session of the Appalachian Rural Systemic Initiative (Oneida, TN, February 19, 1999), and presented by Deborah McAllister. In addition, links to student-generated Microsoft lesson plans, scavenger hunts, shoebox kits, web pages, HyperStudio stacks, other conference presentations, etc. may be found on my main web page.
