Free Resources: Brainy Kids - Internet@Schools Magazine

Brainy Kids <http://www.dana.org/kids> is a comprehensive Web site offering children, parents, and teachers selected science-related links to games, labs, science fair ideas, educational resources, and lesson plans. The links are reviewed regularly by the staff of The Dana Foundation, a private philanthropic organization with particular interests in neuroscience, immunology, and arts education, and producer of the site.

Additionally, The Dana Foundation's site includes many additional resources, including:

* "Sourcebooks" for secondary school teachers and students—one on the brain and one on immunology:
