Website: ASKKIDS

Published July 31, 2010

Hey kids! Are you having difficulty in searching something regarding your school homework on the internet?

Well, don't you worry about that; askkids.com is a website just for you. It is a search engine which caters to all academic needs, and focuses from six to 12 years of age. It is safe and easy, and a fun way not only for kids but their parents also to rely on when searching for topics related to school like, language arts, science, history, math, geography, and many more, as it is more age-appropriate than the traditional, adult search engines.

For your convenience, the search engine has already been divided into sections, viz. School House, Movies, Games, Images and Answers.

The School House section provides you with the resources for your subjects with narrowed down topics like mathematics, history, etc. It also gives you a list of useful websites which will surely be helpful for your schoolwork. Plus, it also has this filter to be used whether you want resources for kids or teens.

The following section, Movies, is quite interesting to many of us. It enlists movies which have been made of for scholastic purpose or for fun keeping kids/teens as their primary viewers. This also provides a built-in feature of searching new movies, showtimes, etc., besides giving you the names of some featured movies. The filter for kids and teens is also applied in this section.

The games section is yet another interesting section of the search engine which provides you with the resources of games and features free games, the images section gives you valuable images which you might be looking for on the net.

What follows in the list is, I feel, the most interesting section of the search engine where the experts answer questions asked by kids or teens. The questions range from being as interesting as 'Can Camels Swim?' to as informative as 'Will a Magnet Stick to Titanium?' The questions are divided into sections like Fun Science, Nature, Weird Science, Old Stuff, How Stuff Works, etc., to delve into and spend the lazy hours of the summer — and, consequently, get useful information in a fun-filled way.

Just type www.askkids.com in the address bar and there you are!
