REVIEW:
Here is yet another outstanding site produced for the ThinkQuest Junior competition. How Our Hawaiian Islands Were Formed won a well-deserved platinum award. The site features a fun, detailed, and fully animated interactive learning module about the formation of the Hawaiian Islands. The module is divided into chapters and could be used as a set of lessons forming a short unit. Don't miss the quiz/game to save the village from the Hawaiian demi-goddess Pele's lava flow! Users must answer a series of questions about the information given in the learning module to save the village! The site also has a brief description of each island, a page of Hawaiian creation legends, and photos taken by the fourth-grade authors in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. These talented kids have created a truly outstanding site!
