Kids Door of Volcano World
"Every so often I come across a site that delivers more than it promises. This is one of those sites. Don’t be fooled by the simple text menu with it’s nondescript choices. Behind each selection is an array of interesting material. Be sure to visit Volcano Fun. What makes this site great? It’s educational (you’ll learn all about volcanos). It’s animated (watch volcanos erupt). It’s interactive (build your own volcano, and watch its pattern of eruption, or submit your own volcano artwork and stories). It doesn’t take too long to download (it uses Java instead of slow loading graphics). And it’s written for kids. If you’re hankering for more, visit the "grownup" Volcano World ."
