they cover things that are often found in our textbooks, and offer more

How Stuff Works Recommended

2004
"At How Stuff Works you can research how any thing works from a
cell phone, to how laughter starts, to how Krispy Kreme doughnuts are made,
to how Pop Rocks candy works, and thousands more ideas. Each question is
broken down into sub questions so that it is easy for students (and adults)
to follow. The reading level depends upon the complexity of the topic, but
I think most 3rd graders could grasp the general idea of how the item works.
Their search will easily lead you to most any topic you're looking
for. " MK

middle school students with pictures and diagrams helping the text information.

"The goals of this website seems to
be a philosophy that not all our students "get it" right away
with what we (teachers) are doing. They are offering an alternative way
to have students manipulate variables in various demonstrations and seeing
direct results. (also known as "playing")! This site is well balanced
and is free! There are some videos you can watch which may take a certain
amount of computer power to run. Our school has no problem in running these.
The links to a physics dictionary, sample student problem survey, and sample
questions, make this site so fun to explore its various uses."
