REVIEW:
This site was designed by Chuck Bueter at DePaul University and offers teachers, parents and students creative
hands-on activities that "reduce complex notions to simple paper plate explanations". Activities are created
for a variety of science topics and for a range of ability levels using only paper plates and a few other easily
found items. Activity topics include everything from practicing addition and multiplication to altitude and
co-altitude to galaxy models and much more. The activities were contributed by practicing educators and more
are being added regularly. A What's New area keeps regular users up to date on the latest projects being added.
