Discovery Channel

This site takes your students into the future. Check out this totally awesome interactive site for students of chemistry and physics. This adventure tells us of what the world is made (quarks, leptons and force carriers) and how the world is held together (gravitational force, strong force, weak force and electromagnetic force), and tests for knowledge with frequent quizzes. A great site to introduce your students to the multimedia nature of the internet.

Dr. Matrix Award for Science Excellence

Sites receiving this award are distinguished by the quality of their content alone. A flashy Web site will not receive this award if its content lacks interest and integrity. A simple Web site will receive this award if it serves the interests of discovery, mental enrichment and thoughtful enjoyment. This award doesn't go to "cool" sites. It goes to the great sites. It's not a daily or weekly award, but an award based on presence, here and now. It is given in gratitude, with no other request but that you keep doing what you're doing.
USA Today Hot Site

September 1996 -- Earning this designation is quite a distinction.

CSICOP Science & Reason

April 1997 -- CSICOP is the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal.
All about the atom! The Particle Adventure introduces the theory of fundamental particles and forces, called the Standard Model. It explores the experimental evidence and the reasons physicists want to go beyond this theory. It also provides information on particle decay and a brief history section. The website's organizers included a hefty glossary and even added a "particle pronunciation guide" for some of those weirder particle names.
