Site of the Week -- Nov. 2, 1998
or readers interested in creating their own aliens out of papier-maché or clay, this is the site to visit. Dave Ducker, a 7th- and 8th-grade science teacher, has put together some short and simple instructions on how to build extraterrestrials of all kinds, and he's also posted pictures of his own E.T.s. Although the site is geared more toward youngsters than older folks, just about anyone will get a kick out of the alien gallery, which features masterworks by some of Ducker's students. Other highlights include a section that invites users to "draw your own aliens using the provided body parts" and a selection of free clip art. The site also includes educational material ranging from an ecology database (dubbed "Aliens Explore Earth") to a distinctly non-SF simulated 13th-century village.
