The San Diego Exploratorium answers general science questions and gives instructions for dozens of science experiments on this site, a great resource for teachers and students alike.

The Explorit Science Center is a hands-on science museum in California. Their page contains current news events, information on science accomplishments in history for each month, quizzes, and challenges. There are plenty of links too.

This piece of NOVA Online is just too good to miss. Chuck Yeager flew the X-1 to break the sound barrier for the first time on October 14, 1947. Here you can read and listen to his words and those of other men vital to that effort and get a feel for what it was really like to step (or fly) into the unknown. (While you’re here, check out a lot of other great NOVA stuff too!)

Right now enjoy excellent interactive exhibits on Living Things, Weather Forecasting, Alaska, and more in this well designed site complete with teacher helps, a publications library, and links (not annotated, but categoriezed and quite extensive).

A vast resource of information on the history of science, with facts on scientists, scientific discoveries, and more. You'll also find a directory of scientific institutions and a directory of online journals.

Faulty methodologies and generally sloppy research work are the targets of this site, which works to expose the bad information that shows up as a result of poor scientific method. A noble cause.

From the Museum of Science in Boston, this is an excellent Leonardo da Vinci site. See QuickTime movies of the Leonardo ("Scientist, Inventor, Artist") exhibit the museum hosted in the summer of 1997 and use multimedia presentations to learn about the Renaissance and this multi-talented genius.

This is an amazing collection of weather data and images including live weather cams by state and country, dozens of weather indicators like maps of current snow cover, cloud cover, or temperatures, satellite photos, Doppler radar, much more. Fun stuff!

Questions and answers on a huge range of scientific topics make this a great site for information on science. And if you don't find the answer you're looking for already here, ask a question of the mad scientist of your choice.

As part of the national effort to improve math and science performances of U.S. students, the Consortium offers math and science resources, news, and events to educators in the Mid-Atlantic Region and across the country.

Mr. Warner helps kids in "Exploring Science and Technology on the World Wide Web." His site offers dozens of excellent science links, categorized and summarized for easy use. His conversational tone is a pleasure, and his concern for children and learning is apparent.

This museum is one of the best! My favorite exhibit is Colleen Moore's Fairy Castle which you can now tour on line. Also on line: AIDS: The War Within, The Coal Mine, and The U-505 Submarine.

This "Aeronautics and Space Resource for Educators Since 1988" offers a wealth of Hot Topics, Cool Picks, and search opportunities for its collection of 13,000 NASA files. Friendly style and ease of navigation are impressive with site map, FAQ, background information, and other helps.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology offers you surprisingly easy, clearly instructed access to a wide range of scientific data. In addition to evaluated links, you get electronic journals, databases, and other online resources.

A huge repository of information on a wide variety of science topics includes everything from education to transportation to medicine to graduate fellowships and postdoctorate opportunities. Wow!

In addition to their famous features on individual cultures, the folks at National Geographic offer here a wide range of options including talk, answers to your geography questions, and scenic drive information with lodging, maps, and even car games. A great site.

There are three U.K. museums included here: The Science Museum, The National Railway Museum, and The National Museum of Photography, Film & Television. Among many quality resources and exhibits online, check out the STEM project in The Science Museum, where they're "using the Web with teachers and students."
