^THE TALLMANIA WEB DIRECTORY:  MATH & SCIENCE

---

For the more analytical among us...or just the curious.


Math Matters:

• Try Spike's Game Zone at Coolmath.com for some math-oriented strategy games.
• Don't be ashamed if you can't answer the brain teaser for fifth and sixth graders at the Education Place. Be proud if the teasers for grades 7 and 8 are easy for you.
• How many seconds old are you? The answer to that question, and more, from Morse Code to Pig Latin to lottery number pickers, are all at the unusual OnLine Conversion.com's Fun Page.
• From money to cooking, you find yourself using Math In Everyday Life.
• Flash cards, homework help, and games for math are all at A-plus Math.
• Famous Problems in the History of Mathematics is just what the title says--an interesting look at math at work. You'll want to be math-minded to really enjoy it.
• "A strange world where the ultimate power consists of mathematical skill and knowledge" is to be found at Absurd Math, a pre-algebra site that is a combination game, puzzle, scavenger hunt, and story.
• Track down international criminals using math skills, in the Math Never Dies ThinkQuest.
• Who Wants to Win A Million Dollars answering math and science questions? You probably would like to, but the money, sorry, isn't real. Just the pride of getting the answers right is.
• Make the math game as easy or as hard as you want, at the Brain Teasers and Math Puzzles page.
• At Get Smarter, you can compare your score and solve rate with other students your age. It's for math and science. It's also all Flash, so you'll need a Flash player to use the site.
• "It's finally cool to be smart," say the people at Quantum Mind Benders, another math-oriented games and puzzles site.
• Bottle rockets? Card tricks? That's not math. Yes it is, at the Exploratorium's Math Explorer.

Science Fun:

• Where do bugs go in winter? How do I survive in quicksand? These and many more questions answered at How Come?
• How Stuff Works is just what it sounds like--and more. I love this site. From how MP3 music works, to how to pick a lock, to how hand grenades work, I can't think of anything this place doesn't try to explain.
• Most lipstick contains fish scales! Or so they say at Strange But True. (This might not really be a science site, but it's close.)
• If you have logizomechaniphobia, don't go to The Phobia List!! (Logizomechaniphobia, by the way, is a fear of computers.) A useless, but still sometimes interesting, list.
• Quiz yourself on everything from water to gravity at Syvum, where the quizzes are rated by age and grade level.
• Activities and experiments, from toothpaste testing to chemical pie, are to be found while having Adventures in Science and Technology.
• If I had a question about science, I'd Ask Dr. Universe.
• Any site that has both optical illusions and bugs must be pretty good. And they have them, at Atoms and Ants.
• I admit the Bubblesphere is for kids who are younger than you, but any site totally dedicated to making bubbles has to be mentioned. There's even a history of bubbles. Also, check out the site called Bubbles.
• Cool Science looks disappointing at first glance, but click around, and there's some good stuff.
• A History of the Universe? Is that all?
• Doesn't the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office sound boring? Well, their Kids' Pages actually have some interesting things, including games like Lie Detector, and We Dare You.
• Calling all inventors: sign in at the Kids Cafe for young scientists.
• It's The Yuckiest Site on the Internet, what more do you need to know?
• If you're going to make paper airplanes, you may as well learn from an expert, Guinness record-holder and paper airplane master Ken Blackburn.
• Check out today's Astronomy Picture of the Day; they are often cool.
• What's inside that brain of yours, anyway? Find out using memory games and other interesting activities at the Exploratorium's Brain Explorer.

Math AND Science

• If you've got Flash set up on your computer, look no further than the colorful, cool, yet still educational "movies" at the funky site called Brain POP. Even a film called "Adding and Subtracting Fractions" is good.
• Women scientists? What women scientists? It's time you took a look at 4,000 Years of Women in Science, listing famous women from math and science through history.

The Supernatural and Beyond

• Flying saucers, ghosts, the Loch Ness Monster, and much, much more are explored at the Museum of Unnatural Mystery.
• What about UFO sightings? Well, there are at least Six Unexplained Encounters that "continue to defy science," according to this article from Popular Mechanics magazine.
• Do you think you might have psychic powers? Find out by taking the PSI Test.
• Seen any UFO's lately? Report it to the National UFO Reporting Center.

Games & Puzzles of All Sorts:

• Yowza! Spend about a thousand hours with the Brain Boosters--logic, math, reasoning, word games, and riddles--at DiscoverySchool.com.
• Look at all the quizzes, tests, puzzles, and other things at this site with the ugly name of Puzz.com.
• This one is NOT games you play on the Internet; it's full of games you play with paper and pencil, coins, or other items. You can learn the games by reading the page, and then play them later (not in class!). Clever Games For Clever People
• Choose from brain teasers, games, and optical illusions at Brain Bashers.
• The games at Fun Brain are often a bit easy, but sometimes it's nice to get all the answers right.
