SCIENCE

AND
SOCIAL STUDIES
Interactive, minimal advertising and grade level suggestions.

I have tried to provide a diverse group of websites for your classroom use. There are more popular websites out there, but if they had advertising, they did not make my list. These sites are for students so I have tried to make them as user friendly as possible. For an extensive list of websites for professionals, click here.

If your students need a good place to research a Science or Social Studies topic, click here

And finally, if you need information about a topic that has a Global theme, click here

Please email me any suggested websites that you would like added to the list. I am always looking for interactive or simulation websites. If you come across any "dead" links or URL's that have changed, please let me know.
