Ology

When kids ask big science questions, it’s helpful to have a trustworthy site at their reading level. Ology is the American Museum of Natural History’s kid-focused science hub, with games, articles, and activities grouped into “-ologies” like paleontology, astronomy, and biodiversity. Built by museum educators, it aims to bring exhibit-quality content to families anywhere. Parents appreciate that explanations are clear, graphics are appealing, and activities often use simple materials. It’s ideal for elementary and early middle school learners looking for project ideas or quick research. The site’s navigation feels a bit old-school compared with slick modern apps, but the content holds up. Pro tip: let your child choose an “ology” of the month and complete two or three activities from that section, then create a mini-poster or slideshow to share what they discovered.
