General Science

How Stuff Works  How Stuff Works is a great place to come to learn about how things work in the world around you. Have you ever wondered how the engine in your car works, or what gears do, or what makes the inside of your refrigerator cold? How Stuff Works tells all. A new article gets added every week, and you can sign up for the HSW Newsletter to get the latest news.

The National Museum of Science and Industry  There's as much attention to detail here as in the museum's exhibits. Links to the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television and the National Railway Museum too.

NASA One of the most fascinating aspects of applied science is space exploration. This is real science in action and since NASA is the only organisation really involved in it, there is only one place to go. Lots of resources about planets, moons and more.

Natural History Museum There are lots of museums with websites but this is a fun one to visit should you be interested in the animal kingdom. There are descriptions of all the exhibitions you can see in the actual museum as well as some interesting features, including an interactive exploration of a skull which was believed to be from the beast of Bodmin Moor.

History of the World It's easier to use this site than to describe it. The information provided here actually forms a historical encyclopedia that's organised in various timeline-like ways, focusing on events and significant people, and with hypertext jumps to relevant maps and background text. It's fascinating, visually rich, and gives you some new perspectives on how we moved from then to now.

The Yuckiest site on the Internet This site is thoroughly horrible but highly educational, 'Kids' will love it. Just don't expect to come out without getting your hands dirty.
