Most children, I would hope, could distinguish between playing with an internet video and being in the park and actually watching it erupt for themselves. National Geo. might have had some kind of warning wording on the site, such as "In Yellowstone, you can't do this yourself," but that might be overkill, too. There's a pretty good explanation of OF's cycles on the previous page, given that kids read that, they should be able to understand that it's "just a video".<BR><BR>Overall, I think that link is pretty cool, actually. I just had a little bit of trouble getting it to load (I am on dial up, unfortunately) and the technology is a bit dated, but being able to see the eruption in stages from varying views is interesting!<BR><BR>Just my 2¢.<BR>Pat S.<BR><BR><BR><BR>On Feb 23, 2005, at 12:12 PM, sheri wrote:<BR><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><B><?fontfamily><?param Helvetica><?color><?param 8080,0000,0000>Don't you just love National Geographic...??<?/color><?/fontfamily></B><BR><B><?fontfamily><?param Helvetica><?color><?param 8080,0000,0000>Not as bad as the Metamucil...<?/color><?/fontfamily></B><BR><B><?fontfamily><?param Helvetica><?color><?param 8080,0000,0000>but still<?/color><?/fontfamily></B><BR><B><?fontfamily><?param Helvetica><?color><?param 8080,0000,0000>check this out...<?/color><?/fontfamily></B><BR><B><?fontfamily><?param Helvetica><?color><?param 0000,0000,EEEE>http://www.nationalgeographic.com/yellowstone/catch/qtvr.html<?/color><?/fontfamily></B><BR> <BR><B><?fontfamily><?param Helvetica><?color><?param 8080,0000,0000>Sheri Solomon<?/color><?/fontfamily></B><BR><B><?fontfamily><?param Helvetica><?color><?param 8080,0000,0000>eastern Washington state<?/color><?/fontfamily></B><BR> <BR><B><?fontfamily><?param Helvetica><?color><?param 8080,0000,0000>"I have always imagined that paradise <?/color><?/fontfamily></B><BR><B><?fontfamily><?param Helvetica><?color><?param 8080,0000,0000>will be a kind of library"  <?/color><?/fontfamily></B><BR><B><?fontfamily><?param Helvetica><?color><?param 8080,0000,0000>-Jorge Luis Borges<?/color><?/fontfamily></B><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Geysers mailing list<BR>Geysers@wwc.edu<BR>https://mailman.wwc.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers<BR></BLOCKQUOTE> <P> <HR> <P></P>_______________________________________________<BR>Geysers mailing list<BR>Geysers@wwc.edu<BR>https://mailman.wwc.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
