BBC Science Clips
These high quality, fun "clips" teach and / or reinforce science concepts through interactive means. They are designed for ages 5-11. My son had a great time just exploring some of the concepts and taking quizzes afterwards. One he particularly liked teaches about the sun, earth and moon.

Bottle Biology
"Learn how to explore science and the environment with soda bottles and other recyclable materials. Create Decomposition Columns to Bottle Gardens."

Cathy Duffy Science Curriculum Reviews
If you want to find out about a particular curriculum, Cathy Duffy has written some really meaty reviews -check them out.

Dolphin Man Worksheets
Click on the categories (sea mammals, ponds & streams, the sea) and get the free worksheets. The free worksheets all have watermarks, but who cares? These are great!

Krampf Science Experiments
You can sign up to be a member of the Yahoo group or simply read the archived science experiments. These are pretty fun and usually use easily obtainable household materials.

Online Bug Guide
Not sure what sort of bug that is that just crawled across your floor? You can look it up on the bug guide. We've found out about a lot of local critters on this nifty site!

Rainbird Rainforest Curriculum
Rainforest teaching modules for grades K-12.

Science Toys
"Make toys at home with common household materials, often in only a few minutes, that demonstrate fascinating scientific principles. " We loved this site so much we bought the book "Gonzo Gizmos".

Scripture and Science for Kids
Here you will find lots of easy to understand articles for elementary age students on science and creationism.
"Discovery is a colorful monthly magazine on Scripture and science for kids. Our aim is to show children that Christians have good reasons for believing what they do. Discovery encourages kids to develop a faith that is motivated by a genuine love for God and which is, at the same time, supported by evidences for that faith."

Skool.co.uk
Wow! Wow! WOW! This is a super resource for "older learners" (upper elementary and beyond -ages 12 to 16 according to the site). There are numerous math and science modules for students to learn and interact with. Interactive lessons have graphics, audio, reviews, tests and activities that help to cement learning. You can even download a special browser so that you can do activities offline. Click one of the "channels" from the main page and then navigate to the different sections (Key stage 3 or 4). I am very impressed that the U.K. has such a high quality free resource for students. *Warning: the biology section contains lessons / information on reproduction and sexual intercourse.

Steve Spangler Science Experiments
Free science experiments -many with videos! You have GOT to try out the one using Mentos!

The Elements
If you are studying chemistry, you've GOT to stop by this site. You'll get to watch a humorous movie while listening to Tom Lehrer's "The Elements" song.

What's That Bug?
Another site to identify your local creepy crawlies.

What's This Caterpillar?
We found a caterpillar on our tomatoes and the kids decided to raise it. This site helped us to identify just what kind he was!
