Ology means "the study of" and this interactive science site was created especially for kids to explore fossils, the universe, animals, and much more. Students can move through time meeting extinct dinosaurs, tour the solar system and the Milky Way galaxy, explore DNA that can't be seen by the human eye, read interviews with museum scientists and student scientists like themselves, play games, collect Ology cards and create projects with them, learn about expeditions, take quizzes, and more. There are several Ologies to be explored, including archeology, astronomy, biodiversity, earth, Einstein, genetics, and marine biology. Each Ology section is filled with interactive activities for students to enjoy as they learn.
