Thank you for your response. Could you tell me what part of the
country you teach in? Right now we are focusing on Middle
School, but plan to expand to high school and elementary school.
We are exploring topics related to water, air pollution, climate
change, hazardous chemicals, green living and STEM. Your examples
were very helpful. I would love to hear from other teachers who
might discuss how they integrate Web resources into the classroom
and how they integrate the human health effects of some of the
topics I mentioned above.
