If you are interested in the Earth, rocks, minerals, fossils and the like have a look at Geology for Kids by KidsGeo.com
The URL is http://www.kidsgeo.com/geology-for-kids/
You will find different chapters that talk about:
The info is easy to read and there are lots of pictures to help.
One of the awesome things about this website is there is a big yellow button on the left hand side you can push to hear songs about different aspects of geology.
Have a listen to “The Ballad of the Fossils” or “The Rock Family” pretty funny!!!
What is Planet SciCast I hear you ask?
Well, according to the “About” page on their website:
Planet SciCast is four things:
- A competition to get children, young people, teachers, parents, science communicators and science/engineering/technology professionals all making short films about practical science.
- A web resource of all those movies (plus write-ups of the activities, experiments and demonstrations), for the use and amusement of everyone involved, but particularly for schools.
- A platform for other science engagement projects to share their work with a wider audience.
- Finally, a discussion about who’s job it is to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers with entertaining science related material.
There are some wonderful films on the site about almost everything to do with science. Maybe you will be inspired to make a film to submit yourself
You can access their website by clicking the link above or their URL is: http://www.planet-scicast.com/films.cfm (last accessed 6/7/09)
I have added some fantastic new games to the “Interactive Science Games Page”
Check out the Apollo 11 Moon landing at We Choose the Moon or test your knowledge and skill against Garfield at Professor Garfield’s Knowledge Ring.
Make your own jigsaw puzzle at Jigsaw Planet.
Don’t forget, if you know of a game or interactive you think other kids would like and will not be blocked at school, click on the Leave a Comment button and let me know!
