Science Kids is a site designed to help students understand different science topics. It has different sections: games, experiments, facts, and quizzes. The games allow the student to test their knowledge. They give instant feedback to the student. The experiments allow the student to try different experiments at home. They give a list of supplies and the science behind the experiment and results. This site is great for reinforcing different scientific concepts. It has both life and physical sciences topics. The games are more beneficial when reviewing a unit as opposed to the end of a lesson. This site would be beneficial for a teacher to use inside the classroom for quick reinforcement when a student may have some time at a computer. The teacher might also reference the site at a parent/teacher conference or open house.
