<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am looking on the internet for some nice
free video and/or interactive resources for young minds. Specifically I am
searching for animations which put things into perspective and show just how
complex the cosmos is. For example, I saw a show on the Science channel once
that showed how the Earth's orbit wobbles over time, and how the entire solar
system wobbles through the galactic plane over time. I've also seen excellent
representations of leaving the Earth and going outwards to the point where
thousands of galaxies are simply points of light which keep shrinking.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Other things I am after are things which do a good
job putting time and numbers into perspective to help kids (and many adults I
know) grasp the difference between 1000 years, 10,000, 100,000 and millions of
years. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Small perspectives are good as well. Anything that
can help people to understand the smallness of atoms, the space between them,
and what "nano" really means would be great. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anything that shows evolution as a process and
allows interaction and random (or non-random) mutation through multiple
generations would be neat too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to gather as many links to good
material like this and put together a blog so it can all be found in one place.
Any good.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If it is more acceptabel to email me offlist that's
fine as well. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance!</FONT></DIV>
