Fall or Harvest Weblinks

[LisaD]

I am looking for some good websites that are fall or harvest related.

Specifically websites that are interactive in nature and let students explore about autumn, fall, fall festivals.. perhaps even ghost stories. Obviously ones that are useful in a whole group setting full-size flash... and allow for interesting interactions from students (and possibly assessment integration using Activotes!) Asking too much!?

Any ideas! ????????:D

(I've found some good Halloween-specific ones but not much general fall/autumn stuff!)

Thanks for any ideas you might have!

Hi Lisa,
I found:
This one is about how leaves change colour in the fall
http://www.state.me.us/doc/foliage/kids/movie.html

And this one is also about leaf colours
http://www.treetures.com/Autumn2.html

Neither are very interactive though!

[LisaD]

Wonderful. Thanks so much. I'll add them!

Perhaps there is something on this page from Gamequarium:

http://www.gamequarium.com/fallgames.html

It seems to be more Halloween/Thanksgiving related, but maybe you will find something valuable there!

Hi Lisa,
I found a few more.

Foliage cams in Pennsylvania. It was very dark when I logged on so I'm not sure what these are like!
