Volcano Expedition to the Mariana Islands
This Web site will take you to nine volcanic islands in the Mariana chain. The site offers a guided tour through photos, videos, day-by-day accounts of what the research team finds, a history of the islands, and links to cultural and scientific resources. From the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
Understand Geologic Time
This site "introduces students to geologic time, the evidence for events in Earth's history, relative and absolute dating techniques, and the significance of the geologic time scale." Includes interactive quizzes, and lesson plans for teachers. From the Museum of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley.
Geography IQ
Planning a trip? Preparing a school homework assignment? Perhaps you're interested in current events or are just curious about exploring the world around you. GeographyIQ is an online world atlas packed with geographic, economic, political, historical and cultural information.
Snow Crystals
This excellent site on snow crystals has information ranging from the physics of their formation to how they are classified and preserved for study. There is a section about how "designer snowflakes" are created in a laboratory. You can also see numerous photos of natural and designer snow crystals and learn how they were taken.
World Timer Server
Ever wrack your brains trying to figure out the time difference between, say, Los Angeles and Burkina Faso? Want to call your friend in American Samoa, but don't want to call in the middle of the night? This site has your answers.

Dive and Discover
Join ("virtually") an expedition in the eastern Pacific Ocean to look for new volcanic eruptions on the crest of the mid-ocean ridge. You can read the daily updates by the crew, watch a movie of a volcanic seafloor, and learn about topics from vent biology to the earth's anatomy in the "infomods."
One Sky, Many Voices
Not to be confused with the '60s revolutionary organization, this site is designed help K-12 classrooms learn about weather. There are places to find current information, share data, and even download applications.
