Helpful Links for Homework and Fun

I know I already have a list of links on the right toolbar, but I doubt most people have noticed them and I just found this great list of links from Booklist magazine and I wanted to share it with y'all in hopes that you can find help for homework woes or just some inspiration. So here goes, just click on the title to be taken to the site.


Astronomy Picture of the Day- I'd file this one under inspiration. Each day NASA posts a new picture of the cosmos, and a professional astronomer explains it briefly (and usually understandably!).

Awesome Library- Database that searches lots of carefully reviewed resources for projects and unanswered questions. It's pretty...well, you know.

Citation Machine- One of my favorite websites when I was writing papers in college, helps you format all those pesky sources in MLA, APA, Chicago, or Turabian formats.

Coolmath.com- The layout may seem a little childish, but I wish this site had been available when I was struggling with math!

How Stuff Works- answers pesky questions you've been arguing with your friends about, and the 'Surprise Me!' button can lead you to topics you never would've thought of otherwise.

Information Please Almanac- A wikipedia-like site that gives you more reputable returns from various almanacs.

NOVA- Just like the show on PBS, the NOVA website is full of great videos and articles on crazy things like the intelligence of octopi and midget submarines.

A.Word.A.Day- Exactly what it sounds like. I love learning new words!

DFTBA,
Sti
