For each topic, there are games, videos, images, experiments and activities, fact sheets, quizzes and lesson plans. When assigning research on any area of science, these are the first websites I turn to.ĥ.) Science Kids – Based out of New Zealand, this science site has 30 possible science topics. The only difference between the sites is the topics available. In addition to the videos – which stream off of a connected PBS site – there are pages for students to read on the same topics and information about 208 different animals! For teachers, there are lesson plans designed specifically around the various episodes, including key vocabulary and hands on activities.Ĥ.) Physics 4 Kids, Biology 4 Kids, Chemistry 4 Kids, Geography 4 Kids, Cosmos 4 Kids Although this is technically 5 different websites, they are all interconnected and have the same types of great, student friendly articles with information about key topics in science. I have yet to find a game on this site that I didn’t love.ģ.) Nature Works – This site is based around 16 different videos about different topics dealing with the natural world, including: Adaptation, Migration and Habitat. For each topic, there is a chance for kids to read and to play and the play section offers very engaging, interactive activities. They have a variety of topics from Microorganisms to States of Matter to Friction. Their amazing education website has ready made lesson plans, articles geared specifically for kids, videos about astronauts and the space station and even a Kids Club area with games on different topics like building a jet and naming the planets.Ģ.) BBC Bitsize Science Games & Simulations – BBC has great educational games for every subject, but the sciences ones are really tops. Trace space back to you!
