Reviewed Sites

19th Century Scientific American Online
This interesting, incipient site is easily navigated but, as in the original, has few illustrations and presents scientific and other information accurate in the 1840s.
 
4000 Years of Women in Science
Considering that modern American society has only truly acknowledged the legitimacy of women in sciences for say, the last twenty years, a website on 4000 years of women in science is truly an inspiration!
 
A Walk Through Time
This site contains a great deal of information about the history of timekeeping.
 
Center for History of Physics
A starting point for a study of the history of any field of physics, the Center for History of Physics Home Page has many different paths for a visitor to follow.
 
DNA Interactive
The DNA Interactive website is an award winning site that is all inclusive in its coverage of DNA.
 
Figures in Radiation History
This page hosts short biographies of prominent figures in the development of nuclear science.
 
Greatest Engineering Achievements of the 20th Century
This site provides, in one place, a great deal of information about the technology, history and culture of the 20th century. The quality and quantity of information is a hallmark of this site.
 
HyperHistory Online
The primary function of this site is the description of history under four subsets: Science, Culture, Religion and Politics.
 
Institute and Museum of the History of Science of Florence
The main attraction at this site is the MultiMedia Gallery, which contains an interactive gallery dedicated to Galileo Galilei.
 
Marie and Pierre Curie and the Discovery of Polonium and Radium
This site presents a lecture given by Nanny Fröman at the Royal Academy of Sciences on Marie and Pierre Curie's work on the discovery of Polonium and Radium.
 
Old Sturbridge Village
The website is easily navigable and provides culturally and historically accurate information, and pedagogical opportunities for elementary and secondary school students and teachers.
 
Particle Adventure
Overall, this is a very interesting site that offers an understandable, step-by-step approach to particle physics theory.
 
Pea Soup: The Story of Mendel
This website, Pea Soup: The Story of Mendel, is a solid site for students in grades 9 and 10.
 
Smithsonian Institution
The Smithsonian Institution site is extremely valuable, easy to use, compelling, and an excellent starting point for anyone seeking to know about science, its processes, outcomes, and history.
 
The Galileo Project
The Galileo Project reveals the scientific process clearly and accurately. It puts science within political and cultural contexts and shows the struggle between emerging scientific understanding and religious dogma.
 
The Invention Dimension
The Invention Dimension Home Page is mainly dedicated to a particular inventor and his or her accomplishments.
 
The National Air and Space Museum
The National Air and Space Museum's internet site is organized primarily to highlight the exhibits in the museum.
 
The Nine Planets
The Nine Planets site, created by astronomer Bill Arnett, is a comprehensive overview.
 
The Nobel Prize Internet Archive
It would be hard to find a more thorough and inviting interactive website on the Nobel Prizes.
 
The Physics Classroom
Among Internet sites that attempt to teach classical physics, this is one of the best. It is one of the very few sites that actually tries to teach the fundamental concepts of mechanics without oversimplifying the subject matter.
 
The Virtual Museum of Computing
Would you like to see an excellent photo of the Manchester Mark 1, arguably the world's first programmable digital computer?
 
Zoom Dinosaurs
This is the best site I have seen. "Breathtaking" may be stretching it a bit for an adult, but not for the students eager to learn about this ever popular topic. This site is going to be on a lot of "favorites" lists.
 
Zoom Inventors and Inventions
Zoom Inventors and Inventions seeks to “capture the imagination while maximizing creativity, learning and enjoyment” of children.
