  • Alien Empire



    Although this website is primarily aimed at kids there is so much information here about the alien empire that is the world of insects that adults will want to explore it for hours! You may want to take a look at how insects are designed and how they go about the sometimes dangerous act of reproduction. There is a look at the wars that go on among insect communities and it also features the ways we and the bugs co-exist - or not!

  • The Universcale



    Size matters, or so this website will have it. This amazing site shows you scale as you have probably never seen it - from the smallest speck to the largest asteroid and beyond. Fantastic graphics will give you a real idea of your place on the planet - or indeed the universe.

  • Make a Flake



    Something a little less noisy and strenuous. If you like the myriad shapes that a snowflake can take and find it fascinating, then why not make your own? You are given a piece of paper and a pair of scissors - virtual ones of course! Then you can chop up the paper and create your own snow flake. Hugely enjoyable fun, you can even save the flakes you create so that others can view your handiwork.

  • The Mini-Mizer



    Have you ever wondered what you would look like in plastic and miniaturized? No, well, maybe you are reading the wrong web page! This site allows you to build up a picture of yourself as you would appear if you were three inches tall and made of the rubber stuff! You could even make little versions of your whole family to give them a momentary laugh from something that took you five hours to do!

  • Interactive Radio



    This is music to match your every mood and takes the shape of an astounding interactive radio station. You can choose the genre, the mood of the music and the era from which it should come. The website will then give you a very specific selection of the type of song that you have requested. So, whether you are looking for swinging tunes from the fifties, brooding jazz from the sixties, pop from the seventies straight up to contemporary music, this is the site for you!

  • Neave Television



    Click on to this sight only if your PC can take a little action! You will need broadband and a desire to be completely bewildered. If you enjoy channel hopping then this might be that ultimate experience you have been waiting for. Click on the screen to start hopping and when you are fed up of one channel click again to hop to the next. Utterly barmy and strange fun!

  • Kaleidoscope



    This could keep you busy for hours. The block on the left gives you a choice of shapes and colors which you drag in to the circle. A blue pie shape sweeps past the objects you have placed on to the circle. The block on the right then shows you the kaleidoscope effect that this sweep produces. Hypnotic and mesmerizing fun!

  • Neon Bible



    This will knock your socks off! A music video that is interactive? Possibly the shape of things to come, this will certainly have you scratching your head and wondering how on earth they did that!

  • Mr. Picasso Head



    Have you ever wanted to paint like Pablo Picasso? Here you get the opportunity, with a huge variety of permutations and combinations that can come together to give you your very own take on the great man's style. Once you are done you can save the Picasso style drawing that you have created it and email it to your friends - or possibly some of your enemies too!

  • Autopsy



    This website is definitely not for the faint hearted or for those who do not like the sight of a little blood. It is a step by step guide to what happens during an autopsy procedure. Watch with glee or your heart in your mouth as the first incisions are made and the bodily organs removed. A superb guide to what goes on in the autopsy room, but don't blame me if your dinner makes a reappearance!

    Can you fairly explain how digestive system works without pictures? How about when you're asked to describe planets, plants, worms and the like? It seems very simple to do but gets complicated when you need to answer follow-up questions right? Worry no more as I listed some of the most helpful websites to serve as a reference in exploring the world of science and technology.

    1. Break

      This website allows visitors to submit their videos, games, and photos, so that other members in the community can rate and comment on the content. Of course, this website doesn't compare to the massive content of “YouTube” but it still is worth checking out.

    2. Swaptree

      Swap your old books, music, movies and games for something new with another Swaptree member. This service is free and the membership is free, the only thing that members are responsible for paying is the shipping costs. This is a cool website that works and is fun. However, Swaptree members are limited to what can be traded and is not available in every country, just yet.

    3. YouTube

      This website offers visitors the most comprehensive collection of user generated videos anywhere on the Internet. Vote for your favorite content and leave comments or join in and submit your own videos to share with potentially millions of visitors worldwide.

    4. Freelotto

      Play the lotto daily for free and get your chance to win up to $10 million dollars. I have been a member for years and have occasionally won a few bucks, but no really big money, so far. There are six lotto games where you could win cash, cars or homes everyday and for nothing out-of-pocket. Freelotto does offer an optional premium member service that allows members to automatically enter the lotto without having to visit the website everyday that you want to play. The basic membership is free.

    5. Treeloot

      Treeloot has hidden a cache of cash and other prizes in their prize tree and you have to find it - to win it. Treeloot is really easy to play, just point in any location on the tree and click using your mouse to reveal if you found any prizes. Surprisingly, this is a very addicting game for a couple of days, and then it starts to get old.

    6. PopCap

      PopCap is a fun website to play games online. The majority of games are very addictive interactive puzzles, spelling and strategy games that nearly anyone would enjoy. There are many free games and limited trial version games to choose from, but PopCap does sell game downloads, if a player wishes to own a copy of a game to play offline. There is no pop-up windows or spyware to worry about here at this site.

    7. e-Podunk

      This is a wonderful website to research 46,000 cities, towns, communities and more before moving or traveling out of town. Visitors can spend hours on this site, just learning about different places from around the country (USA, Canada, Ireland and the UK).

    8. Music Dish

      This is an excellent website to stay current with music news from around the world. Whether you choose to read articles, reviews or looking for a career in the music industry, then this website is rich in the content that music fans are interested in.

    9. Sky & Telescope

      This is another comprehensive website that is dedicated to astronomy and stargazers to keep in-touch with the vastness of space and the planets, stars, moons, suns, and other space interests. I did encounter some pop-up ads, so just be sure to turn-on your pop-up blocker to stop the pop-up ads from popping up.

    10. e-Nature

      This website is a real treat for anyone who loves learning about animals and animal behavior. There is so much to do on this website from reading about animals to playing games or you could ask an expert, if you have a question about nature or the animals that call it home.

    Bonus Website

    FixYa

    According to the FixYa website “Fixya provides Free tech support and technical help for gadgets, electronic equipment and consumer products. Fixya's technical experts advise on fixing problems and provide instructions on proper usage of products either by chat or message posting. Fixya stores manuals and troubleshooting guides for over half a million products.” Finally, a truly valuable website for anyone who are into gadgets and technology and is surprisingly addicting to use. Basic membership is free.
