Reeko's Mad Scientist Lab

http://www.spartechsoftware.com/reeko/


Anything you can think of this website has it, from quizzes to experiments to those questions everybody has, but not many people know the answers to, well this website has them! Each section has an easy, intermediate and advanced level which is perfect for people of all ages, not just the kids.

This is a great website to go to when you are just looking for random facts. Although you can not search for an item if you have a question you can email Reeko and they will email you back with the answer.

Try Science

http://www.tryscience.org/


This website is a wonderful interactive tool for kids of all ages. There are so many different things to do on this website such as a virtual field trip, experiments and much more.



There is a section for teachers to use in the classroom and there is also a section for parents. For parents there is a cool resource to click on and find science centers around the world.

Yucky Science

http://yucky.discovery.com/flash/


Very kid friendly! This website will get any kid who does not "like" science, but may like bugs and bodily noises, to love science. You never knew that science could be this yucky!


This website will get students who do not seem interested in science loving science! It is full of interesting fact and fun music to get kids excited about science again.

Science Bob

http://www.sciencebob.com/index.php



This is a great kid friendly website all about science. This makes science fun and interesting for the kids. It also has videos for them to watch as well as ideas for experiments.



They have very easy to follow videos that will help the students complete experiments. Instead of completing them all the time it will allow the students to watch it being done online. It comes with instructions although it doesn't explain why or how it works to well it shows his mistakes which makes it a great learning experience.

How Stuff Works

http://science.howstuffworks.com/


With this website you can explore many different topics that are all about science. However this is not the most kid friendly website so the teacher or mom and dad need to look for the videos or the information for the kids.


This website has a lot of different information related to science but it is not the easiest to find information. You can type something in the search box but if the website does not have any related information it will send you to a search engine.

National Geographic Kids

http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/


National Geographic is a great tool to use in classrooms, now it is even better with an online version which you can use anytime, anywhere. This website is full of games, stories, and activities that deal with many different topics related to science, from animals to weather.

This website is highly recommended as a great educational tool for teachers and parents.
