Science for Kids

This site is organized into ten main science and technology areas: Astronomy Biology, Chemistry, Computers, Environmental Science, Geology, Mathematics, Physics, Technology and Weather. Our goal is to select science sites that provide accurate scientific information presented in a way thats understandable and fun. Astronomy and Space The Universe, The Solar System, Space Exploration. Photographs from the Hubble Space telescope and NASA Web Pages To visit the Astronomy page click here Biology and Life Sciences General Biology, Evolution, Genetics and Molecular Biology, Animal Species and dinosaurs!! To visit the Biology page click here Chemistry H₂O, carbondioxide and the Periodic Table of Elements. A lethal combination after all!! To visit the Chemistry page click here Computers A bit of this and a byte of that. Supercomputers to your Home PC's, this page has a lot of links to cool sites and a Hacker's Jargon dictionary. To visit the Computer page click here Environmental Sciences Is there really a hole in the sky? What is the El Nino? Find out about the environment around you.. To visit the Environmental Sciences page click here Geology Earthquakes to Volcanoes, Antarctica to the Arctic, there is a lot to learn about Geology and Earth Sciences. To visit the Geology page click here Mathematics MathMagic! collaboration, Pythogoras, Algebra and Calculus made easy. Math made fun.. To visit the Math page click here Physics Visit the Particle Adventure to find out what the world is made of and what holds it together. See the 'Lights in the Northern Sky' on the Aurora Page and many more interesting facts about Physics To visit the Physics page click here Technology Navigate through the Human Body, cut up sections minus all the mess.. Visit the Visible Human and much more To visit the Technology page click here Weather and Meteorology The latest weather and satellites. Throw in a hurricane and see the results. To visit the Weather page click here	Total Solar Eclipse	The total solar eclipse of February 26th, 1998. Pictures taken from Seroe Colorado, Aruba. This picture shows the full view of the corona. more
	Tyrannosaurus Rex	Tyrannosaurus rex is one of the biggest dinasaur meateaters. It ate other dinosaurs for lunch. It was taller than three men standing on each other's shoulders. Its teeth were 6 inches long and it could crush large bones when it ate. more
	Nanobes	Nanobes have cellular structures similar to fungi and spores but they can be 10 times smaller (20nm-1.0μm). They have hollow, membrane bound structures that are most likely composed of Carbon, Oxygen and Nitrogen. more
	Cray 2	In 1985 Seymour Cray developed the Cray-2, which was even faster (1,200,000,000 calculations per second). more
	$Mandelbrot's fractal$ Mandelbrot's Fractal	The Mandelbrot set (the black points) are the complex numbers C for which the sequence Z₀=0; Z_n = Z_n-1² + C remains bounded. The surrounding points are colored to represent the different rates of divergence of the unbounded sequences. more
	Particle Creation	In physics the The Standard Model theorizes that all the known matter particles are composites of 6 quarks and 6 leptons, and they interact by exchanging force carrier particles. more
	A Space Walk	'Drifting right' I called, watching the shadow of the footpad probe straining to touch the surface. 'Contact light.' We settled silently onto the moon with perhaps only 20 seconds of fuel remaining. more --Buzz Aldrin
	Typhoon from Space	The winds of a hurricane are structured around a central "eye", which is an area that is free of clouds and relatively frid calm. Around this "eye" area, storm clouds wrap in a counter-clockwise motion. more
