**CyberFair**
http://www.globalschoolhouse.org/cf CyberFair encourages youth to connect the knowledge they learn in school to real world applications. The eight (8) categories for the Web-based research project are: Local Leaders; Community Groups and Special Populations; Businesses and Organizations; Local Specialties, Sports and Health; Local Attractions (Natural and Man Made); Historical Landmarks; Environmental Awareness and Issues; and Local Culture, Music and Art Forms.

http://www.nationalmathtrail.org/ Participation in the National Math Trail would be an excellent opportunity for my students to be able to communicate with their peers across the country, make their math applicable to the real-world and allow them to be in control of their learning. I imagine, students would be so excited about coming up with various math problems in our community, they might not even realize their doing math!

http://www.goodmansonline.com/jim/projectbigmac/ This collaborative project has students look at prices of Big Mac’s all over the world. It touches on areas of the curriculum such as math, economics and social studies. It’s a great way to get students to discuss the lives and economies of foreign countries and allows them to put something familiar to them (the price of a Big Mac) and apply that to understand the economic structure of another country.

http://www.k12science.org/curriculum/oceansproj_new/index.html This collaborative project is designed for students to see how humans are impacting oceans. The project has students focusing on the nitrogen cycle, and how the increase of nitrogen in the soil causes adverse affects for our oceans. After they collect their water and soil samples, they share their information with students in other places and compare and analyze the data.
 * Oceans Connecting a Nation**

http://www.k12science.org/curriculum/drainproj/ This project has students taking data on how much water they use. They then compare that to what other students across the country are using and compare it to themselves and the amount of water we should be using. It’s a great way to put into perspective the amount of water wasted every day!
 * Down the Drain. How much water do you use?**
