Now you see them...

There's a lot of crazy talk out there: killer clouds coming to destroy Earth, faked moon landings, you name it. This site sets the record straight. It also delves into the accuracy (or inaccuracy) of science as portrayed in film and television. Dive in and learn something new today!
That's a fact...Jack!

Snow Crystals
Because no two are alike...
Can you recognize different forms of snowflakes? Did you even know snowflakes came in forms? This site peels away the mystery behind the physics of snowflakes and suggests a number of unique snow and ice activities. Don't miss the photo gallery!

Tell me about the rabbits, George.

Barbie.com
Barbie comes to life online
Barbie has a home page. Kids (or kids at heart) can read her diary, go shopping with her, peek inside her dream closet, watch B-TV, and play a host of Barbie games. Our favorite? Give Ken a new makeover to help him catch Barbie's eye! We made him a firefighter. She seemed impressed.
Enter her world!

It's a Journal. It's an Organizer. It's a Phone Book. It's free for 30 days. Plus, with its nifty "let me ask you a question" diary function, it's like giving your invisible friend a voice. Way cool.
