A Science Educational Site Worth Visiting

http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/ is an educational website that focuses on science as the main theme. It covers comprehensively the world of science from matters to animals to space. The site is meant for kids but I personally believe that it would also capture the attention of teenagers and adults. This is because the design of the site itself is very interesting. Instead of filling the webpage with only words, the developer included cute graphics and used wide range of colours. These would definitely capture the attention of kids. Other than the interesting design, the webpage is structured in a way that it would be easy for kids to navigate. this is important because the website provides a lot of activities for kids.


Facts, simple experiments, games, quiz and other resources for kids to learn about science is made available. Kids can look at the world of science easily and enjoy it because the explanation given is easy for kids to understand where humor is also added. The experiments are simple and is so interesting that I myself would like to try some of the experiments. There are also projects for kids to do which is more complex then experiments but is doable. Experiments are important since by doing what they have learned they will understand and when they understand they will remember.

The games are also exciting since it is very interactive. Kids can now see what happens when, for example, a plant does not receive enough water and what happens when there is no sunlight. Furthermore, images and videos are made available for students so understand science better. The videos are interesting an easy to follow. Finally, there are quizzes for kids to do to test their understanding.

All in all, this website will make kids enjoy learning about science. This is because the activities in the website involves reading (the fun facts), doing (the experiments), seeing (the games and videos) and testing (the quizzes). Kids will never have nothing to do on this website!
