Britannica resources for interactive whiteboards |
|
|
Encyclopaedia Britannica has a section on their Primary page which is great for learning about nature and science. The exercises are very colourful and are designed for use on the IWB. The 'standards' link gives curriculum relevance to the UK curriculum but you may find it useful nonetheless.
