If you've seen the movie Contact, then you've heard of SETI. They have a great breakdown of the movie vs. reality when it comes to the current search for intelligent life. Especially interesting is the official written policy of action once contact has been made.
Wow...does this website have it all! Some of the perks include a kids page, articles about cool scientific studies (like sending robotic snakes to Mars!, information about pets, dinosaurs, history, human
behavior, the Planet Earth, Space, Technology, and Weather. You can even find out about games and see live coverage through their Live Cams site.
Have you ever wondered how your refrigerator works, how cell phones work, why you get better radio reception at night? This amazing website created by Marshall Brain has hundreds of cool articles in categories such as: Science & Technology, Electronics & Communication, Computers & Internet, Body & Health and many more. You can even email Marshall your own questions and get them answered.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) puts up one of the most detailed websites on the World Wide Web. You can visit a page just for kids, get free help and information from the page for students, see live pictures from the Hubble Space Telescope or find out information about anything involved with outer space (including the search for extra
terrestrial life!)
The National Zoo is an unbelievable website for animal lovers. The site is sponsored by the Smithsonian Institute and contains information about many animal species. You can take a virtual tour of the zoo, participate in live demonstrations, watch streaming
web cams, see tons of photos and much more.
The United States Geological Survey is an agency within the Department of the Interior of the federal government. They post just about every piece of information an earth scientist might need relating to rocks, minerals, soils, landforms, and basic science concepts. You can find out about recent earthquakes or volcanic eruptions and even learn about the plant and animal species you'll find in this country.
This website for the hands-on museum in San Francisco known as the exploratorium. There are many links and articles in all areas of science. It also has a roof cam and exhibit camera to see real-time views. Some of the exhibits at the Hall of Science in Queens were from the exploratorium.
Physics is, for many people, a very difficult subject to grasp. Most have to learn to think in a
whole new way to understand the concepts illustrated in physics class. I like this website because the author uses humor to help students troubled by the formal concepts of physics. Physics comics tries to visualize and show the path of the
formal contents of physics with humor.
This is one of my all-time favorite websites (from an amateur physicist's point of view). You can ask experts questions, sign up for free weekly quotes and anecdotes, access physics & astronomy news, and participate in online forums. They also have a question of the week and a reference section for help with your school work.
