I went to the Care2 website and realized that this would be a great use for alternate lifestyles. As much as the economy is pushing to go green, and using renewable resources, this is a site full of ideas and current events. In finding causes of cancer, new species being found, healthy and green living ideas are great conversation pieces in the science classroom.
Some of the topics could also be used in the social studies classroom with citizenship. This website promotes things from community efforts, nonprofit organizations, to global warming and civil rights. Would I put an elementary student loose on this site, no; however, this is a good resource for current events in the classroom for all subjects. From personal experience, if I took a story out of the newspaper and summarized it for the kids, they got interested more than I ever knew possible.
