Virtually the Ice Age

I just read about this site on another blog ("World History Teacher's Blog"). It is from a museum in the United Kingdom. It has some interesting information and interactive activities on its site. The quiz for the "Test Your Survival Skills" seems to have the same question copied over and over. However, my wonderful students very easily may be able to guess what the question was suppose to be based on the options given for the answers. See if you can figure it out and enjoy the rest of the site as well.

Natural History Museum

If you haven't had a chance to visit the Natural History Museum lately, it is well worth the trip. The museum has been going through a lot of renovations in the past 10 years. Some of the exhibits are even part of our course this semester. If you can't get to the museum itself, be sure to visit it online for interactive activities and news.
