NASA for Students is an absolutely amazing site.  You can see (and use for free) their amazing space photos.  You can  choose from a huge selection of e-clips (videos) or 3D resources.  Also, check out their interactive features for some really cool virtual experiences.  This site is so great you could spend all day here!
For studying the elements, there are three essential sites you must visit:





Physicsgames.net is a site with dozens of games related to different laws of physics, such as gravity, forces, reactions, balance and projectiles.  It's a lot of fun!



The history channel has a fabulous Interactive Universe, where you can zoom in and out of planets and find great information about our universe.










Crystals can be very beautiful and very complex, too.   They're also useful for studying color and light.  Find out why by trying a fun activity here.







   What's Cooking? No matter what you cook, science is involved!  Read all about it at Exploratorium's site, science of cooking.  It's deliciously fun!








Try the "Lunar Challenge" at sciencenetlinks.com.   You may never look at the moon the same way again!



Plant some sunflowers and watch for the bees!  See what it's all about at greatsunflower.org.









To see how well you'd do at Franklin's kite experiment, go to pbs.org.





















Every day, all around the world, there are scientists watching the sun with high-powered telescopes.  So what does the sun look like today?  Check it out.

For all kinds of other interesting things about our local star, try The Stanford Solar Center.

Metal Matters is a site all about metal.  It's very well-done and amazingly, it was created entirely by high school students!
