Can you check out a website for me? About Aztecs

When I go on this site it will not open some of the windows. It is www.ballgame.org It is about the sport played by the Aztecs. There is a classroom connection section but when I click the projects it just becomes black. I don't know if it is my computer or what. Thanks for anyone checking this out for me.

When you go to the home page, can you see the bouncing ball? If not, then you may need Flash.

By the way, this is a great site, and timely. My son has been reading about Mesoamerica for the last couple of weeks, and I bet he'll love playing around with this. Thanks!

I checked out the site (and installed the latest Adobe Flash). The bouncing ball works just fine, but the classroom connect projects did not - I tried them from both the regular menu (the list and the icons above it) and from the site map. For me, the screen just blinks and goes back to the classroom connect menu. I don't know if this will be a big help to you, as I am using Safari browser on a mac. But usually if there is a mac compatibility problem, I get an error message -- so I am wondering if it is a site problem. I'll try it on Firefox & let you know if it works there.

No luck on Firefox, no luck getting directly to the projects via a google search.

But I like the rest of the site.

Yes, I have the Flash so I'm wondering what is going on. Maybe it is the site. My ds is making an Aztec Lapbook so this was a good site for the ballgame and more. Hope you enjoy.

I can click on Classrrom Connections and get a page with a chart. It includes directions for four projects:

Paper face mask (grades 3 - 5)
Clay effigy vessel (grades 3 - 5)
Paper headdress/costumes (grades 6-12)
Clay ballgame figurines (grades 3-12)

However, if I click on the links for the individual projects, I get a black screen.

Hmm. I don't know what's going on, but it looks like it's in the page, not us.
