The web sites listed on the following four pages provide a wealth of additional information on the subjects presented
in SAM II activities 1 6. The levels of additional information provided in these sites range from beginning to very
advanced, allowing students of all levels to research additional meaningful material on the SAM II subjects.
As of Fall 2001, all the following web sites are active. However, they are subject to change and may not all be
available when students begin their work with the SAM II activities.
If too many of these sites are no longer active, the developers and creators of SAM and SAM II recommend using the
World Wide Web search engine "Google."
Enter "Google" using key words from each SAM II activity. The following table gives a sample of key words to use in
entering the "Google" search engine.
