The website I looked at was Try Science and it can be found at http://tryscience.org/. This website is attracted towards elementary and middle school students who enjoy science. It has many different gadgets on the site, like different experiments, adventures, and field trip ideas that kids could do. It also has other small gadgets on the website that gives the kids the chance to learn about Planet Earth and a mini quiz that kids can take to test their knowledge skills in science. The different experiments, adventures, and field trips that they offer are very cool features on the website that are probably what is used most on the site because it gives the ability for the kids to do those types of things personally and hands-on rather than only over the computer.
This website could be used in the classroom to do science experiments in the classroom. Since it has that feature, teachers could get experiment ideas and then be able to produce them live for their students which is much more beneficial then watching and reading about it over the web. This could also be used for kids to come up with their own ideas of things they want to learn in the science field and ways that they can do that by looking at the examples on the website.
This website could create learning outside the classroom because this could give the teacher the ability to have the kids go home and do an experiment at home, or ask the parents to take them on a field trip to a place that is listed on possibly field trip locations.
