The Science Learning Network is an innovative partnership between six
eading science centers in an effort to extend the museumsí resources
over the Internet to reach students and teachers. SLN was one of the
first projects to help teachers access museum resources online and integrate
them into innovative teaching practice. Our web site is a launching
pad to activities, demonstrations, current news and information featured
by museums across the US; teachers get lesson ideas and quality background
information on challenging science topics, while students can check
out a scanning electron microscope, meet a windmill maker, or wince
at a dissected cow eye. The site provides a bridge between online information
and off-line experiences.
