Some Websites to Get You Started!

You are certainly not limited to these, but it will save you some searching time! Feel free to post questions about the project on the "Comments Page" (No, AC, that won't count for effort points).

Cool Cosmos - lots of links to other sites about the electromagnetic spectrum

Waves of Energy (at Discovery School) - scroll down and click on The Electromagnetic Spectrum Tutorial

The Electromagnetic Spectrum (at Windows on the Universe) - you can change the level to beginner or advanced and even change the language to Spanish. Check out the Explora Tour, too

The Electromagnetic Spectrum (at NASA) - more information

How the Eye Sees Light (at Neuroscience for Kids) - good for projects on visible light and the eye

Electricity Links - lots of links for magnets and electricity

Light and Optic Links - lots of links for light, color, and optics

Sound Links - lots of links for sound and acoustics

Remember: when citing websites, use the URL for the page you actually find the information, not the page from which you followed a link! Google, Yahoo, & Ask are not sources - they are search engines. Wikipedia is an OK place to start (they often have great links at the bottom of their articles), but it can never be considered a definitive or final source.
