Of Mind and Matter: The Mystery of the Human Brain
"Three young men from Connecticut won the high-school grand prize with this biology entry about the human brain. Starting with anatomy and function, and progressing to disorders and psychology, this site is well-written, has a great design and is peppered with interactivity. My favorite clicks are found in Interact, which provides a complete list of all the site’s quizzes, polls, and rich-media illustrations and games."

New York Times Learning Network
"With news, activities and lesson plans for grades three through high-school, the New York Times Learning Network really does have something for everyone. Best bets are the news summaries, daily news quiz, and the interactive crossword puzzle with educational Web links. But don’t even think about starting the puzzle until you’ve finished your homework; it’s very addictive. Other don’t-miss-them clicks are Word of the Day (with sample usage from the newspaper) and On this Day (with a snapshot of an historic New York Times front page.)"

NASA Quest Chat
"This is not your run-of-the-mill chat, but rather something quite out of this world — an opportunity to chat with NASA experts. The schedule varies from week to week, but here’s a sampling of what’s happening this summer: a weekly course on Robotics led by the JPL Mars Rover team; Sustainable Seas Expedition from the Florida Keys; Mars geology and photography; a chat with crew members from the Shuttle Columbia. Wow! If you’re new to chatting, you can get your fingers wet at the weekly Practice Chats."
