Homework Help
Our friends at the Wolfeboro Public Library have put together a great collection of links to help with homework and school projects. We can’t do it better, so we’re sending you there!
They have tabs for Language Arts (including great writing and grammar tips), Science, Math, and Social Studies. Check it out!
A Little Life Help
STOP BULLYING is a site that provides helpful information and advice on bullying, cyberbullying, and how you can stand up for yourself and others. There’s also information for younger kids, in case you want to help a younger brother or sister.
GIRLS HEALTH is for girls 10 to 16. Even though the site looks retro, it’s actually loaded with helpful information on health-related topics, including bullying, getting fit, and body image.
Honestly, a lot of the advice (how to help a friend who’s depressed, how to support a friend with an eating disorder) is good for boys, too.
Sports, Fashion, Space, Nature...
The Smithsonian website is really cool! Play games, learn about the animals at the National Zoo, and (coolest of all) check out their 3D digitized collection – including Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit, a beautiful feedsack dress from the 50s (a real life unconventional challenge!), and a woolly mammoth!
You’ve got to try this.
Google has worked with museums, historians, artists, and scientists from all over the world to create a site where you can play games, make art and music, view museum collections, take virtual tours of locations around the world, learn about art and architecture, and even time travel (sort of!)
There are lots of interactive games, but you can also view artwork in high def (like this Van Gogh) and watch 360º videos about fashion, nature, science, tech, history, and more. The site does so much, it's hard to list it all.
Let’s a-go!
Get ready to drive with practice permit tests! You need to be 18 to apply for a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in NH, but you can still try the test!
