Web Sites
Some useful science activities and resources in these websites:

NOVA portable computers especially designed for Science and Technology
The best source of information on NOVA is the manufacturers website; [|www.fourier-sys.com] Where there is a NOVA Download Centre. Here you will find a collection user guides and Reviewer guides (which are quite useful), but there is also a password protected "Distributor Download Centre". This area has comprehensive collection of graphics, brochures, guides, experiment manuals, research papers and various collections of marketing material. The pdf file called "Nova5000 Middle and High School Applications" is very informative.

Another useful section is the News section on the main page.

We also set up a trial in a NSW primary school last year and the students kept a blog of their experience. Their comments are quite interesting; http://ozintell.edublogs.org/

This link has a number of experiments that students can carry out either at school or at home. My sons Stage 2 class has just finished an integrated unit on Space and they made rockets using soft drink bottles - had great fun.
