If you wish to integrate science with writing projects, consider these two sites. Each one has lists of Internet connections (and links to those sites) so that one can communicate with experts in many fields.

Science-Ask the Experts! http://ra.terc.edu/alliance/TEMPLATE/regional_networks/cia/science/experts.cfm

This annotated list of websites is maintained by the Regional Alliance for Mathematics and Science Education. It is an excellent selection of topics in health, physical science, engineering, medicine, mathematics, earth and space science, and science humor. Websites offer archives of questions (and answers) asked in the past, as well as ways to send additional queries.

Pitsco's Ask an Expert-Science/Technology: http://askanexpert.com/askanexpert/catscitec.shtml

This is a longer list of websites and e-mail addresses. Some links are outdated, and the page takes some time to load. However, the links to websites lead to interesting explorations.
