The
Family Friendly Web Data Base
A Directory of over 175
Educational Web Sites Young people will find much of interest here. Parents will find this something they can do together with their children in the evenings. You will probably find the biology and science sections to be especially interesting. Sites were selected because they were for young people and their parents, and fitted into one or more of the following categories (in the order of importance): Database or links - The site had a good database of links to similar sites, or it had a few worthwhile links to them. Children - The site had photos and arrangement especially suited for Children. Information - In some instances (for example, in Archaeology), advanced information was provided for the serious young person or adult. We tried to avoid technical data, but our databases sometimes refer to it. If you cannot locate a given web site, try again later. We found that we cannot connect with some sites while friends elsewhere can, and vice versa. And some days we can connect, while at other times we cannot. So be patient. DIRECTORY
