Here also are links to space-science news, interactive lessons, and information about organizations where you can help scientists explore the final frontier. Resources for teachers help bring the heavens down to Earth. In Roach World, kids follow the exploits of Ralph the Roach, learn such facts as how each of the critters has at least 18 knees, and play an interactive roach-whacking game. Whether it s a contemporary science topic like Dolly the cloned sheep or an historical one like Leonardo da Vinci s flying inventions, London s Science Museum has it covered. In addition to offering a rich assortment of entertaining and educational online exhibits, the site offers a virtual 3-D tour of the museum s recently opened contemporary science center, the Wellcome Wing.
Nothing quite captures a child s attention like a good science experiment.
That s why more than 400 science learning institutions contributed experiments to this site.
