www.brainpop.com/science/ focuses on various aspects of science subject starting from smallest atom up to the biggest galaxy. All of the main topics are as presented above. The website is very interesting because each and every topics are consisted of science movies, questions to ponder, pop quiz, online experiment, and etc.

This learning sites is very useful for the teacher and students in understanding the subject because of methods used. One example under the topics of Acids and Bases are show below;

                                                                         Example 1: Acids and Bases

Acids and Bases Why do acids eat through metal? Why does dishwashing liquid have a high pH? In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby answer these questions — and more — in their movie on acids and bases. They’ll take you from the molecular properties of acidic and basic solutions all the way up to their uses in products ranging from soft drinks to soap. You’ll learn about hydronium and hydroxide ions, as well as why lemon juice stings if it gets into your eye. After the movie, take a pop quiz — not a litmus test! Watch the Science movie about Acids and Bases »

From the above example, the topics was presented with several questions. Then, these questions will be answered by Tim and Moby, and students also will be presented with the life examples, science movies and pop quiz to test level of understanding. Hence, in my personal opinions, students especially male students will be interested with the science subject because of the methods of learning used as mention above.

In a nutshell, although it is not a free website, hence it is very useful for the user to have it.

Beyond the Normal Science

In giving an effective teaching method, teacher should not just solely focus on classroom setting, but also try to seek stimuli that can enhance one's ability to think and apply what he or she learn in class. Thus, one way to do this is by having activities such as riddles, puzzles, IQ knowledge and any related skills. There is one particular website that I found on the internet. The website is www.education.com.

This website can be divided according to different age, grade as well as topics that one's desire. thus, it gives people different types of content-based learning and different levels of education. For the science activity, it focuses on the application of science rather than on the syllabus covered in class. The contents of the website covered from the simplest exercise up until advance experiments.

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!
