REVIEW:
Time for Kids is divided into two sections: News Scoop, for grades 2 and 3, and World Report, for grades 4 through 6. Each section includes news articles appropriate for the grade level and an opportunity for students to respond to the articles. In the Games section, students can go to the Robot Lab and build their own robots or Next Stop: Mars to check out the latest information about the Mars probes. The special feature, Heroes for the Planet, showcases individual efforts to make an environmental difference. Classes can take part in the Antarctic Adventure, a virtual field trip to the bottom of the world. The adventure includes a weekly Polar Report, background information about the continent, and access to the TFK correspondent who will answer and post students' questions.
