Imagine the Universe with NASA
When it comes to online space-related resources, NASA takes best-in-show. Their learning platform, Imagine the Universe, doesn’t disappoint!
Chem4Kids teaches about atoms
This may be better suited for older kids, being dense with quality information. Take a look at their Atom Basics section and help your kids get curious about chemistry.
Get BITE SCIze science with the Museum of Nuclear History
Head over to the Museum of Nuclear History’s YouTube channel to watch hands-on experiments in their BITE SCIze series, and learn in depth with their new All Atomic series.
An illustrated, interactive periodic table of the elements
There have been many renditions of the classic periodic table, but this one from Keith Enevoldsen goes above and beyond – each element features an illustration of where one can find the element in the world. It’s fun for kids to look at, and parents will get a kick out of this one too.
