In the earliest days of the Internet, scientists found that they had a new way to "network" with each other; it was
for many researchers a new, faster way to communicate and share ideas and information. Of course, this is still
true today, but as more "regular people" find their way online, the focus has shifted slightly. Nowadays you need
not be a scientist to enjoy the Web. From astronomy to zoology, from physics to meteorology, the Web has
become a virtual encyclopedia of science knowledge for anyone with curiosity and interest.
- NASA Home Page - from space exploration to science policy, one of the most impressive and comprehensive sites available.
- Discovery Room Online - dinosaur information and games from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.
- The Exploratorium's Sport Science - hockey, cycling, and more. Explore the realm where sports meet science.
- Physics 2000 -
an interactive journey through modern physics. Includes quantum physics, x-rays, and science and public policy.
- Bad
Meteorology - just because some information is presented as "science" doesn't
mean it's true. This page looks at some of the things you should
watch out for.
- Ask Dr. Math -
the "Dear Abby" of mathematics. Search the frequently asked questions or submit a query of your own.
- The
Nine Planets -
information about our solar system presented in an informative and fun format.
- Windows to the Universe -
compare this site to The Nine Planets. The beauty of the Internet is that you
are almost never limited to just one source. The drawback is that there
are so many excellent resources you don't know where to begin.
- The
Visible Human Project - a project devoted to creating complete,
anatomically detailed, three-dimensional representations of the male and female human body.

"Our goal is to build a site that includes a rich array of documents,
including images, movies, animations, and data sets, that explore the
Earth and Space sciences and the historical and cultural ties between
science, exploration, and the human experience."
