Physhare Folk;

        I have been hearing about many interesting and innovative uses of
the internet in the classroom, but one that interests me very much seems
conspicuously absent.  Has anyone used one of the archives or ftp sites
which contain databases to provide primary source data for students to
manipulate/correlate/investigate/etc. in an inquiry lesson?  For example, I
am familier with databases containing information about weather, groundwater
quality and quantity, the human genome, and astonomical data.  However, I
have had little success developing a unit which makes use of this data in an
inquiry format.  Often the data is difficult or impossible for this teacher
to decipher. Has anyone been successful?

        I am posting this request to Ednet listserve as well.  Address
replies to me personally and I will summarize results to both lists.

Thanks!
