Doctor
Bob's Interesting Science Stuff
This is a great site for kids. "Dr. Bob" has created a site that
is informative, fun, and thought provoking, though a little limited in the
number of items covered. The site covers just what its title says: interesting
science stuff. For example, there's an article on the death of the sun and
another on boulders that mysteriously slide across the desert. The science
is solid and accessible, and there are links to related (and unrelated) science
sites. There is also a kids' activities area that contains some science-related
games, optical illusions, and so forth, and another area with ideas for science
fair projects.
