Format for addressing grade-level content........

OK...........I don't want to open the can of worms
again...................but, saw this that David P. posted to Trace.
Interesting Robot story from Nasa.........towards the bottom of the page it
has a section called "Thursday's Classroom Corner"  There, you can find,
three grade-level choices, available only in text (for two), and with
graphics for one, but it is a .PDF.  Certainly this idea has existed in
academic circles for a long time, not in web-format, however.

The info itself is linked from NASA's, Thursday's Classroom.com, providing
lesson plans for teachers.

I know that this is not news to most of you, but I found it interesting in
the "simpler language alternative" sense.
