Created at the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the auspices of the National Institute for Science Education, the WhyFiles web site provides scientific information to explain and expand on current news stories. This witty website updates weekly and provides a searchable archive of stories and articles. A list of National Science Education standards that link to support WhyFiles articles is included. Additional classroom activities are offered that can be used with an entire class or for extra credit. There is enough intriguing information, as well as cool science images, to entice older students to explore the site on their own.
