Looking for Information on the Web? Use these safe search engines for Kids!

The World Wide Web is enormous and has millions of Web sites. To make it easy to find information, we suggest you use Search Engines. Search engines go through documents on the Internet looking for the keywords of the specific subjects that you are looking for. Here are the search engines we suggest you use -- if you aren't already!

Ask for Kids

This is a search engine that is built upon everyday language - "natural language". Natural langauage means that you can enter in questions like "why is the sky blue?." Give it a try today!

Education World

This is a database of 56,000 safe searching sites.

Fact Monster

Fact Monster is a fun and useful site where kids can go to find useful information, including times tables, conversion tables, current events, facts about sports (like why the prize for hockey is the Stanley cup) and other interesting facts. There is also a "cool-stuff" section and a number of online quizzes and games. The homework sections give tips on how to write essays and more. The search engine looks for alternate spellings, so you can be sure to find something you need.
