What's it about?
This site for tweens features a lineup of programs on the Discovery Kids channel and in-depth information on each show; a treasure trove of games, puzzles, and other fun activities; and video clips from various episodes of Discovery Kids programs. The themes of most shows revolve around science, nature, the environment, and exploration of the world around us, and the activities on the site are similarly mind-bending.
Is it any good?
QUALITY
DISCOVERY KIDS is a great site that encourages kids to stay active. The site includes games that are challenging and educational and activities that push kids to get outside and explore. Parents and kids will both be drawn to the activities page. The section offers adventurous alternatives to staying indoors, such as taking laborious hikes, searching for rare insects, or making acid rain.
Also, the short educational articles are perfect for holding kids' attention spans and teaching both random and common knowledge facts. Why do squirrels have bushy tails? Do jellyfish really sting? What are the seven wonders of the world? These topics will more than just interest kids; they will also provoke thought and spark further discussion.
