Exploratorium

The online presence of San Francisco's "museum of science, art, and human perception" is an experience itself, offering facts and fun through interesting articles, interactive features, and various multimedia tools. Although one might think of this site as the perfect source of activities for kids (who will get some great ideas for science projects), adults will find that mind-bending puzzles may help them think "outside the box" in their workday lives. The digital library offers resources for educational use. In addition to an "asset" database, in which there are over 11,000 documents, images, movies, and sounds, educators (and parents) can also search the Learning Resources Collection for activities and view webcasts related to the museum's exhibits.
