1. Science for Kids Blog: This blog has several different experiments that students can perform at home with few materials and little mess. Some of the experiments include a blubber experiment, surface tension and cloud in a cup. There are extensions for each activity to expand the students knowledge.
2. Discovery Kids: On this website the students are able to explore different areas of science. There is a tab where the students can select to play a variety of games such as building their own inventions. Students can research different labs such as the myth busters under the "tell me" tab. The different labs lay out all the necessary components of the experiment to test the myth. This is a fun and interactive website for all elementary school ages!
3. Interactive Science Website: This website provides students with the option to chose whichever subject they are interested in within the science study. There are a variety of different subjects such as biomes, animal adaptations, weather and etc. The website is extremely easy to navigate. Once the subject is clicked on a new page is opened with choices of games, lessons, or experiments for students to
view.
4. Bill Nye The Science Guy: This is Bill Nye's website which includes all of his videos and experiments. This site is useful for students because they can watch vides about different science subjects at any time. The vides are informational and interesting to watch they are not your typical science video. The videos are relatable and end in a catchy song to help students learn!
5. Brain Pop: This website is a great curriculum based source for students to use. The website allows students to watch videos that introduce new science topics including vocabulary, experiments, and extended activities. The characters on the page put the science discoveries in simpler terms for any age student to understand.
6. PBS Kids: The PBS kids website is an excellent source for students to learn science information while playing games. The games help students to learn the information as they reach towards a goal.
7. Growing with Science: The Growing with Science website is packed with different science resources for elementary age students! There are different categories that students can choose from and within the categories are videos, experiments, links, and books to find out more about that category. Each week there is a new bug posted with an update about that bug and with different pictures. Each week there is a new post with links and activities for students to interact with. I particularly loved this site because there was a section that was just a list of science books that were good for students to reference.
8. Science Bob: This website is a compilation of science experiments. I chose this website because it was easy to navigate and there were countless experiments that elementary school students could perform. I thought it was also helpful for students who were interested in entering a science fair. There is an entire page dedicated to the science fair and how to win, how to enter, and how to be the best. Also included is a list of science fair ideas. These experiments are easy to do at home!
9. Kids National Geographic: The National Geographic website for kids is an interactive way for students to explore science on the earth. This website provides students with different options to explore the different parts of the earth and the animals, plants, and culture from each part. There are options for the students to explore different animals sounds and videos. This website is also helpful for preschool age students to use!
10. Kids Fun Science Blog: This blog had a different approach to science for kids. Students can click on the different links to read about the various topics. Topics include volcanoes, plate tectonics, air pressure, etc. Accompanying some of the topics are different experiments for the students to perform. I thought that this website was helpful because students who want to learn more about science without playing games or performing experiences can read about the topics instead.
