An Educational Website to Check Out!

I was looking up some websites for kids and found a really great one. The information and activities are probably appropriate for ages 6+. The website is the homepage of the American Museum of Natural History. The main web page is http://www.amnh.org/. There is a web page for kids as well http://www.amnh.org/ology/#channel. The information available on the site changes depending on which exhibits are going on at the museum. I would recommend looking at the site with your children, as there is a lot of information on conservation, global warming, etc. It has some great info, but you might want to be part of the conversation with your children. :o) My daughter and I checked out the section on butterflies, and we both learned a lot. There was a new section about mammals on the website today. There are games and activities to encourage learning. There are sections on biology, archeology, astronomy, etc. on the kids' page. This is a website you've got to check out!
