This is a webquest that I created that walks children through an entire lesson on how clouds are formed and the various types of clouds that we might see in the sky. The lesson involves the children doing research on interactive websites and conducting an experiment to explore cloud formation.
Here is a kid-friendly website for children to explore. It is a great resource for children to conduct research, or just discover new science topics. The National Geographic is a highly accredited source and is adapted very well for children. The site also contains current news that is related to science or history but in kid-friendly terms and high quality photos.

Wildlife Forever is a non-profit wildlife conservation and preservation program that has worked in every U.S. state for twenty five years now. Their website includes a section called Critter Cams where they provide links to video footage of various birds. The most popular video footage is of the live Bald Eagle Cam.
