The online activities are designed for students of elementary school age, but would be useful in middle school setting as well. Each activity will challenge students to solve a problem or series of problems using their prior knowledge or with the help of information they find on the accompanying links. One strategy for enriching students' learning experiences with the online activities is to have them record the new information they gather and the mistakes they make throughout the problem solving process.
