The following website came from internet 4 classrooms.

"Internet 4 classrooms is a free web portal designed to assist anyone who wants to find high-quality, free Internet resources to use in classroom instruction, developing project ideas, reinforcing specific subject matter areas both in the class and at home and even for online technology tutorials."

This is a good lesson on matter.  the activity on Internet 4 Classrooms could be incorporated into the lesson.

As I shared on one of my discussion posts, I think the Oobleck activity is excellent.  After the students have done the experiement, they could then use a computer to answer questions that have been premade by the teacher as well as write a summary of the experiment.  Almost everything you can think of in todays time is operated by some kind of technology.  The students have to know how to operate computers in order to work these days.
