bullet The Atlantic Rowing Race
http://www.atlanticrowing.com

    In 1966, Chay Blyth and Captain John Ridgeway rowed across the Atlantic from Newfoundland to Ireland in a 20 ft open rowing boat, named the English Rose III. Thirty years on from this heroic journey Chay Blyth has offered a chance of a lifetime for intrepid explorers to participate in "The Atlantic Rowing Race 1997".

bullet Glacier (sponsored by the National Science Foundation)
http://www.glacier.rice.edu

    GLACIER had its origins long ago when Stephanie Shipp (perpetual graduate student), John Anderson (intrepid polar explorer) and Besse Dawson (intrepid instructor at Pearland High School) got together and decided that Antarctica was a neat vehicle for studying Earth's systems. Through Antarctica, many concepts of earth science, ecology, and environmental science can be explored and experienced in detail.

bullet Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory
http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/

    The Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) carries out interdisciplinary scientific investigations in oceanography, marine meteorology, and related subjects. PMEL programs focus on coastal and open ocean observations and modeling to improve our understanding of the physical and geochemical processes operating in the world oceans, to define the forcing functions and the processes driving ocean circulation and the global climate system, and to improve environmental forecasting capabilities and other supporting services for marine commerce and fisheries. Results from PMEL research activities contribute to NOAA's strategic goals of implementing seasonal-to-interannual climate forecasts, assessing and predicting decadal-to-centennial climate change, advancing short-term warning and forecast services, and building sustainable fisheries.

bullet Integrated Earth Information Servers (IEIS)
http://atm.geo.nsf.gov

    The information that appears on an IEIS arrives via the experimental nation-wide Unidata Internet Data Distribution (IDD) network, which automatically delivers real-time environmental observations from a variety of observing systems around the globe to servers at Unidata universities. At the heart of each server on each campus (and on this IEIS computer at NSF's Atmospheric Science Division) is a Unidata Local Data Manager (LDM), which captures the data and stores them as each site wishes. Sites may then use Unidata analysis and display programs to transform the data into easy-to-understand, familiar forms and to combine them with environmental data from other sources.

bullet Project Skymath
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/blynds/Skymath.html

    This Web Page is designed for middle school mathematics teachers. It contains all of the information needed for teachers to use the 16 classroom activities of SkyMath, including the module itself. We believe that it is an effective and innovative way to present elements of the middle school mathematics curriculum.

bullet U.S. Census Bureau

    Census Bureau Mission: To be the preeminent collector and provider of timely, relevant, and quality data about the people and economy of the United States.

bullet Electronic Field Trip to the United Nations
http://www.pbs.org/tal/un/

    This Web site was produced as part of a 1995-96 electronic field trip series by the Public Broadcasting Service and Turner Adventure Learning. Although the broadcast and print components are no longer available, this Web site has numerous resources that can complement your studies.

bullet GirlTECH Lesson Plans
http://www.crpc.rice.edu/CRPC/Women/GirlTECH/Lessons

    GirlTECH teachers designed these lesson plans to take full advantage of Internet resources and to teach mathematics and science concepts in new and exciting ways.

bullet The Adult Numeracy Network
http://www.std.com/anpn/indextext.html

    We are a community dedicated to quality mathematics instruction at the adult level. We support each other, we encourage collaboration and leadership, and we influence policy and practice in adult math instruction.

bullet The Math Forum Internet News
http://forum.swarthmore.edu/electronic.newsletter/

    A wonderful distribution list of Internet resources related to math.
