Hands-on Science Centers Worldwide: Pointers to public museums with a strong emphasis on interactive science education. The Franklin Institute Science Museum "Ben would have been proud to see this site. It's a guide to the Philadelphia museum that bears his name as well as a virtual version that provides exhibits on science, the heart and, of course, Ben Franklin. Check out the rocket launch video or have museum staffers answer your science questions online." [Excite Science Reviews] The Field Museum of Natural History "Kids will love the exhibits on dinosaurs and other kiddie friendly fossils at this wonderful Chicago museum. Artists will want to see the Javanese masks. There is also a teacher's page and pictures and information on up and coming exhibitions for everyone. This site's a keeper." [Excite Reviews] Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History Online Exhibits
Crossroads of Continents combines modern research in North Pacific (Northeastern Siberia and Alaska) anthropology and archeology with the presentation of many important objects from early collections. This exhibition attempts to capture the wide diversity of North Pacific cultures as well as their historical development from the end of the last Ice Age to the modern day. Human populations began moving into Northeastern Siberia over 16,000 years ago from the more temperate regions of eastern Asia, spreading north and east with the passing of the last Ice Age until they crossed into the Americas via Alaska. That great migration was only the beginning of the story... Complexity: Exploratorium's Complexity Web Site The Nine planets: A Multimedia Tour of the Solar System Top of Page |

Basic arithmetic might be best learned with an abacus. Children who learn with one have a better intuitive understanding of numbers and their relationships, and often become quite adept at rapid mental arithmetic with large numbers. Children should have a physical (real) abacus, but here's an on-line model you can use to get used to the idea. The Abacus: The Art of Calculating with Beads A virtual abacus (Java applett), with links to other abacus resources. THE CALCULUS OF INDICATION
"The theme of this book is that a universe comes into
being when a space is severed or taken apart. The skin of a living organism
cuts off an outside from an inside. So does the circumference of a circle
in a plane. By tracing the way we represent such a severance, we can begin
to reconstruct, with an accuracy and coverage that appear almost uncanny,
the basic forms underlying linguistic, mathematical, physical, and biological
science, and can begin to see how the familiar laws of our own experience
follow inexorably from the original act of severance."
Laws of Form These are two good presentations of the Laws of Form material, with links to other relevant Web pages. "The Substance of a Non-Numerical
Arithmetic is the intellectual concept of the "Existence of Objects", whether
the Objects are real or imagined. Needless to say, any such discussion
of existential import ultimately has a spiritual genesis."

Ring Around a Suspected Black Hole in Galaxy NGC 4261 The gravitational pull of a suspected super-massive black
hole forms a frisbee-like disk of cool gas, at the core of an energetic
galaxy. Subsequent Hubble observations of yet another active galaxy (M87)
confirmed the reality of monstrous black holes -- gravitational ``sink
holes'' that trap everything, even light. November 1992. Click
