The Best Kids Sites on the Web

There are so many great kids sites out there on the Web; here's a few that I visit with my own kids:

Science Toys: " Make toys at home with common household materials, often in only a few minutes, that demonstrate fascinating scientific principles."
Cool Science for Curious Kids: from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute; explore biology with all sorts of really interesting articles and interactive games.
Bill Nye the Science Guy: Can I just say how much I love Bill Nye? He's long been a favorite in our house.
MadSciNet: Anything called the "24 hour exploding laboratory" just can't be wrong.
NASA Kids Club:Anything from NASA is bound to be incredible, and NASA Kids Club is no exception to that.

Kid's Planet: Includes facts, games, a teacher's section, and even information how kids can act to save endangered species.
National Wildlife Federation: the official home of Ranger Rick and more; you can click on the Wildlife link and get more specific animal info.
A Guided Tour of the Visible Human: There's an enormous amount of information here; great for the budding biology major.
Human Anatomy Online: Pick a system, any system - skeletal, digestive, muscular, etc.
KidsHealth: this is a really good kids health site aimed towards kids, instead of parents. Great resource for science research but also an excellent source for questions such as "what is puberty?"
Wonders of the Seas: Explore the ocean and the creatures that live in its depths.
DinoDictionary: "With profiles of over 300 known dinosaurs, immerse yourself in a wealth of knowledge about the giants that roamed the earth so long ago!"

History for Kids: all sorts of good stuff here, organized by regions (China, India, West Asia, etc.).
America's Library: from the Library of Congress. Meet famous Americans from history, explore the United States, and watch videos or hear audio from American history.
Castles on the Web: an exhaustive resource for kids who'd like to learn about castles.
This Day In History: a great feature that helps kids get into history. It's especially fun to see what happened on your birthday.
BBC History for Kids: so much good stuff here. Interactive timelines, games, and lots of great information.
