General Research Sites or Science Sites 

This page was updated on Tuesday, January 27, 2009

Sites are separated into grade levels as well as general sites.  The general section covers many of the grade levels and includes project ideas, science fair tips, specific projects and more!  I would start with the general section and then proceed to the grade level section that best suits your needs..

 

General Sites

Edible/Inedible ExperimentsThis site has a number of fun experiments.  Some are edible while others are not.  After you click on the experiment you will see a note as to how old students should be before trying the experiment.
The Science ExplorerSome really fun activities and experiments.  Suitable mainly for elementary grades.
Science Fair CentralThis link takes you to a handbook of information on how to organize, participate and judge in a science fair.  Good hints and ideas, many could be printed out and used by students.
Thinking Fountain A to ZThis is a site primarily for teachers.  Contains quite a few experiments and ideas but the site is more difficult to navigate.  I would suggest looking through the site and then printing out the ideas your students might like.
Successful Science Fair ProjectsA well written document that is geared for students.  Teachers may want to print this one out to share with their students on ways to have a successful science fair project.
The Ultimate Science Fair ResourceIdea banks, display information, hints and so much more.  Some of the items are for purchasing only.
Bizarre LabsA number of experiments you can easily do in your kitchen at home.
Home ExperimentsA number of interesting experiments you can do for a science fair.  Some of the experiments should only be done with the supervision of an adult.
Science BobThis is a great site and easy for students to use.  Science Bob has information for science fairs, experiments and more!
Science BuddiesThis site has great information on how to do a project, winning ideas and more!

General Science & Research Sites

KidsClick Web Search A great search engines for Kids.  One hint - search by only typing in one word instead of several words.  Most of the sites that are listed are easily navigated and read by students.
Fact Monster Another search engine, almanac, dictionary, atlas and encyclopedia all rolled into one site.
Ask Jeeves for Kids Another GREAT site.  On this site students can ask a question.  They are then sent to a page where their question is expanded into more questions leading them to links that answer the questions.
Animal Printouts A good resource for any students doing a research report on an animal.  I would venture to say that there are over 100 pictures of animals that can be printed out like a colouring page.  Nice to add to displays
Kid's Astronomy Learn about the planets and stars on this site.
The Nine Planets Just for Kids This site is a revamped site for children grades 5 and up based on the website The Nine Planets.
Exteme ScienceInformation and links to sites on a large number of science topics.  A good research site.
Paper AirplanesA neat site on paper airplanes including models you can build yourself.
BubblesphereEverything you might want to know about bubbles.
