Webwatch

Geography of the Planet

http://www.planetgeography.com
It is basically developed and maintained to act as a support website for geography textbook; this website is evolved to serve as a useful resource for geography students. You can not only learn about the book and its authors, but can also access some useful web links and wallpapers. And of course if you have the textbook, then you can access almost all the features of the website.

World at hand

IF you think science websites usually features loads of text, then this website will excite you definitely, because it basically features photo galleries. These galleries mostly show the world under the microscope, so you can see all that is normally not visible around you. There are cross sections of tissues, cells and a variety of such minute stuff which you thought you could only observe under a microscope.

Picture perfect

Consider this website as an extension of the above. It has loads of photographs, larger in quite a number of times. The interesting thing here is that the website is more readable and less technical than the previous one. So if you’re simply a beginner in the subject, you can at least understand by viewing.

Voyage inside brain

This is yet another interesting and interactive website which is dedicated to the world inside our heads, specifically our brains. You can take a whole virtual tour of your brain complete with illustrations. There is a section for teachers as well, where they can learn how to enhance their science classes on the same topic. There are various projects and activities and a free download as well.
