Lots of ideas for Father's Day. Parents will find ideas here as well as teachers.If your child is already out of school, help them make something for Dad that is special andlearn at the same time. I like the "my Dad" lesson where kids draw a picture of Dadand answer questions about him. My son did something similar for me and it meant a lot.

Shark Bay – Google World Wonders Project
So, in this example of a World Wonder - Shark Bay in Australia - You can see a description on the right. There is an information tab, a link to videos about the area, a link to photos about the area and away to explore nearby sites.
