Free Visual Dictionary Great for Teaching Kids Science
I’m part of a Yahoo homeschooling group that focuses on education and someone recommended this visual dictionary so I checked it out and it IS amazing for science or anything in which you need a visual explanation.
It’s very simple to use: To easily find a word, the alphabetical table of contents allows one to see the list of keywords and proposes a link to the corresponding page. Browse alphabetically. To do a search on this page, press Ctrl F.
This might come in handy someday!
p.s. A reader just gave me another visual dictionary called The Visual Dictionary. It’s also very helpful.
