New Science Websites for Children
Many boys and girls like science. Some of them go to the Internet to find
answers to scientific questions. Today, we will tell about a few science websites for
children.
Millions of children around the world use the Internet every day. Many boys
and girls have better computer skills than their parents. They explore the World Wide
Web, play video games and research school projects.
Some young people use the Web to make new friends through social
networking websites like Facebook and Twitter.
One company hopes to use this interest in social networking to increase their
interest in science. Earlier this year, the Mad Science Group launched what it called
the first-ever science-based social network for children. It is known as the Mad
Science Kids Club.
Elke Steinwender is Marketing and Promotions Manager for the Mad Science
Group. She says the website is designed for children between the ages of six and
fourteen.
"It is a place where kids can build their own social community online and they
can really engage in some fun and cool scientific discovery and really allow them to
turn their home into a lab if they choose to do so."
The Mad Science Kids Club lets children explore science with other boys and
girls around the world. Like Facebook, the children are able to invite people they
know to become their friends. Or, they can join existing groups to meet new friends.
There are several groups. One, called the Counting Club, is for children who
love working with numbers. They share different information about mathematics.
This includes advice about solving math problems and jokes involving numbers.
Another group, called Cosmic Adventures, is for children who are interested in space.
Boys and girls can buy different kinds of computer applications from the Kids
Club store. One application is called Lab Rat. It lets children ask and answer
questions about science. Their questions are then published on the website, along
with the correct answer from Mad Science experts.
There is also the Science Zone. Elke Steinwender says this offers science
experiments that children and their parents can do at home.
