“Rosen Publishing, who entered the world of online reference in 2007 with their well-received Teen Health & Wellness Website, has now launched an online resource designed specifically for students grades three to six that promotes the life sciences...The site has a colorful, user-friendly interface designed for this age group. The opening page provides young users with plenty of search options (all with an easy-to-identify icon)... Below this users will find links to hands-on projects, including science experiments and activities, resources for teachers and librarians, and games. Users can also search the site by specific terms using the search tool. In all, over 400 articles for elementary and middle schools can be found here, all of which correlate to national, state, and provincial science curriculum. The site is designed to promote independent searching and inquiry into new topics—a definite appeal in twenty-first century learning promotion. Additional features include a text-to-speech option; videos that promote learning (many of which were created by and contributed to by students), and interactive games that reinforce learning. This website will be a hit with both students and teachers in elementary school libraries and media centers. Because most science databases are designed for older students, this site provides a unique resource to younger students—one that will encourage a love of science at an early age.”
