Freerice is an awesome app that is used to help end world hunger! Teachers and students as well as anyone who wishes to use the app, earn grains of rice by playing the game which is then donated to https://bit.ly/2Gy6kLL
The UN World Food Programme.
Freerice has a custom database containing questions at varying levels of difficulty. There are levels appropriate for beginners and levels that will challenge the most scholarly professors. In between are levels suitable for students of all ages, business people, homemakers, doctors, truck drivers, retired people. everyone!
Freerice automatically adjusts to your level. It starts by giving you questions of increasing difficulty and then, based on how you do, assigns you an approximate starting level. You then determine a more exact level for yourself as you play. When you get a question wrong, you go to an easier level. When you get three questions in a row right, you progress to a harder level.
Unfortunately, at this time, you cannot register for a new account, as this was what popped up when I went to register:
Yes, this site is still working. Each time you answer a question right, the banner ad that you see generates enough money for the World Food Programme to buy 10 grains of rice to help reach Zero Hunger.
We aren’t providing any support on the site right now, because there are some technical problems we just can’t fix. But the site is working and money is being generated, all of which goes to help people in need.
And we have some good news: we’re rebuilding Freerice. When we have more information to share you will find it on our Facebook page.
Thanks for playing! Yippee…good to know!!!

It’s hard to narrow the list of science websites because there are so many great resources. But San Francisco’s Exploratorium at the Palace of Fine Arts showcases a website that teaches kids about science and art in new ways. The departments let kids tinker with gadgets, go below the sea, rocket into the galaxy and also learn about the science of gardening, animals, and cells, to name a few.
They also have sections for teachers/children/parents called “science snackss” that recreate exhibits that have been at the museum; but children can try them out in school or at home!
This is an awesome resource as it explains all the tools you need for each “snackbite” and also encourages resourcefulness and ingenuity since some of the “snackbites” were created more than two decades ago, so some of the tools may no longer be readily available and you have to figure out how to substitute or hunt down those aspects of the “snack”.
