Explore Science - A site that uses macromedia Shockwave to bring you exciting animates experiments. Teachers - download the site to use locally!!! Lets your students do animated experiments on-line! Includes optics, sound, mechanics, basics, waves, electro Magnetism, Astro and Life Sciences. This site is an ABSOLUTE MUST!

The about.com Science guide. This site has resources and assistance on absolutely everything. Go here first!

Bill Nye the Science Guy - Yes yes yes - demos, downloads, help, teachers resources, fun, I mean really FUN!

Science toys to make at home - you must check out this - includes plans for many great experiments. I remember the day we made hydrogen gas using an ice cream tub, a train set transformer, water with a bit of vinegar, and two upturned glasses. When lit it makes quite an explosion. Science is fun when its safe and learned at home (and if your dad gets wet when the hydrogen explodes). Make sure you get a parent or other grown up to help.
