REVIEW
Kids can spend hours engaged in learning at the National Geographic: Kids site. The five major sections include animals, videos, activities, games, and stories. The animal section includes high resolution images of amazing animals and creature features, where users can browse from an alphabetical index or by category (Amphibians, Birds, Bugs, Fish, Invertebrates, Mammals, and Reptiles). Animals are also grouped by habitats (Antarctic, Arctic, Forest, Freshwater, Grassland, Mountain, and Ocean). Click on one of the animals and find facts and photos, video and sound, and maps. Other sections include word games, brainteasers, geography games, action games, interactive games, puzzles and quizzes, a video gallery, some very interesting science stories, and activities that can be done online and at home. Overall this is a great learning site that teachers and parents will want to bookmark for their children.
