Research: Math, Science, & Technology

Math

Discovery School's Webmath: From basic math through Calculus, enter any problem and this site not only solves the problem, but it shows the steps and simplifies it if possible.
Flashcards for Kids: The old flash cards are a thing of the past here. This site has an interactive flashcard, which covers addition through division.
Ask Dr. Math: Is Math what ails you? Go see a doctor: Dr. Math. Before you submit your question, check the archives to make sure it hasn't already been asked and answered.
Automatic Calculus Derivatives and Integrals: Get fully worked-out examples of derivatives, integrals, and more. Check your homework, study for quizzes, and prep for tests here.

Science

Science Fair Central: For all your science fair needs. They'll help you if you get stuck anywhere along the way (even in coming up with a topic).
General Chemistry Online: Are you like me? When your Chemistry teacher asks you what avogadro's number is, do you say it's the secret to a guacamole recipe? Then you need Chemistry help, and if any web site can help you, it's this one.
Scientific American.com: Here's a great source for the latest in scientific research. You want nanotechnology and more? You can learn all about it here. Also, (and this advice is my free gift to you) if you need a current event for your science class, click on Today's News.
Solar System Exploration: If you're anxiously awaiting the day when you can get a round-trip ticket to the Moon or even Mars, then this might hold you over until then. Everything you wanted to know about the solar system and the history of space exploration is here.
Kids' Astronomy Online: Like the name suggests, this site is geared more towards the grade school and middle school crowd. Even if you're older, it's worth visiting to check out the "how big is the universe?" section. You'll be mesmerized.
Life Along the Faultline: Will you be ready when the big one hits? You will if you check out, "Life Along the Faultline." You'll feel the earth move under your feet.
The Exploratorium: Here's a great collection of sites for all kinds of science activities, from the science of baseball and skateboarding, to learning chemistry by cooking a creamy hollandaise sauce (aka an oological emulsion). Great for Science projects.
Enature.com: Here's a wonderful site on all things related to wildlife. You must check out their online field guides.
Science Buddies: If you are serious about your science fair — and I mean serious — then you'll have to check out the Science Buddies site. You can get some great ideas and maybe even get matched up with a scientist to help you out.
Physics Lessons.com: Interesting interactive physics site that demonstrates most if not all of the basic concepts, from motion to heat to electromagnetic radiation. Helpful information, but navigation could be better.
Scifair.org the Internet's premiere resource for science fairs. Brought to you by the Society for Amateur Scientists (we're all amateurs at this), this site covers all of your science fair bases.
Science Project Ideas information and support for Science Fair Projects. They say it's the world's largest website for Science Project ideas. I didn't count the number of ideas, so I'll have to take their word on it. Needless to say, they have a veritable smorgasboard of topics and ideas.
World Forestry Center Being in Oregon, sooner or later, you will want to find out more about the beautiful trees we have here and how we are going to be able to keep enjoying those trees for the rest of our life time, and our children's lives, and their children's lives, and so on.
Note: Teachers! – Science in After School: A Blueprint for Action Are you interested in finding ways to engage students and communities in learning about science, technology, engineering and math in exciting and meaningful after school activities? Whether you already have an after-school program or you're thinking about starting one up, you owe it to yourself to learn more

Technology

The Computer History Museum: According to their site, it's one of the largest collections of computer-related artifacts, documents, film, and photographs in the world. Check out the archives or browse the exhibits.
Discover Engineering: This is a fun site filled with activities, and if you're looking for research information, the cool stuff section is great for middle school science projects and research.
Engineer Girl: This site celebrates women engineers, and is the perfect place for girls to learn all about why it's so cool to be a woman engineer.
How Stuff Works: Wonder no more. Now you can find out how computers, electronics, even knuckle cracking works (seriously).
Inventing Modern America: Great Flash/Shockwave site based on the book, "Inventing Modern America: From the Microwave to the Mouse" which celebrates the best of American ingenuity and inventiveness. The website highlights five of the inventors, but it's filled with other interesting goodies. A highlight of the site is the games section. In the which came first I ranked as an invention expert. See how you rank against my score.
The IEEE Virtual Museum: Being a museum, it only hosts a few exhibits at a time, so it's not the best if you're looking for some specific information, but the exhibits are quite in-depth, and if you're exploring subjects, then this might spark an idea.
A Sightseer's Guide to Engineering: This site is cool, you select your home state, or one you may be about to visit or study, and you can learn all about the various famous and not so famous engineering marvels in the area. It's great for field trips and local research.
