SAS is an organization for people who like to get involved in science. The goal of the organization and the website is to help ordinary people gain access to the brass-tacks tools and techniques used by working scientists. It also helps ordinary people get involved in real-life scientific research on a volunteer/amateur basis. They also publish a weekly electronic bulletin full of hints and tips for science enthusiasts. Most appropriate for high school aged kids.

This site provides content on various interesting educational topics. The most interesting ones are "Then & Now", "Treasure Chest", "How To" etc. The lessons are of good standard from India.

This website contains explanations for the following questions: Why is the sky blue?, Why are clouds white?, Why are sunsets red?, Why is the ocean blue? It has a set of 5 quizzes with 10 questions each to test how well students understand these explanations. This Web site could be used for middle school reading comprehension exercises as well.

Sky Diary KIDSTORM provides information on individual pages devoted to tornadoes, lightning, hurricanes and storm chasing, addressing a lot of the common questions kids and adults have and explaining the science involved. There are also safety tips, photos, illustrations and links to other sites with valuable information.

A+ Learning Galleries' is a place to learn and explore science and nature, from the microscopic to the cosmic. Each Learning Gallery contains a collection of images relating to one science or nature topic with text annotations. Great for students. Lots of information and links to other sites for further exploration.

Online science magazine for middle schoolers and up. Great site for teachers, students and parents. The Why Files reports on the "Science Behind the News" with a new feature or short story every week, covering the science behind a current news story (Mad Cow disease, population, climate changes...). Easy and fun to read, the site is written with humor but is also fact-checked by scientists, and has lots of fun images that make the visitor want to find out more!
