PBSKids.org
This may be too young for 5th grade students but it's such an excellent website I couldn't leave it out! CoolMath.com Great site for math games! It's geared from children ages 13 and up but CoolMath4Kids.com is appropriate from children between 3-12. MakeMeGenius.com This website is full of videos which cover things like physics, photosynthesis, the solar system and electricity! TimeForKids.com We will read these in class but it's fun to go on the site and read about current events. Kids.nationalgeographic.com Who doesn't love National Geographic? Learn about nature, different countries and even try science experiments on this website. Howstuffworks.com Here's a place to send your child the next time they ask, "Why is the sky blue?" This site has great articles but also games, quizzes and videos that your child should enjoy! FunBrain.com This site includes Math, Reading, online books and learning games! This site caters to preschoolers up through 8th grade students! |
Please be careful that you carefully evaluate websites for children!
There are so many sites to choose from and it can be a full-time job just checking out all the media that children are exposed to daily. |
