Alex's Paper Planes: Looking for a fun way of learning about aerodynamics and flight? Then this is the site you should check out. You get illustrated instructions on making everything from 'Gliders' ("paper planes that glide through the air") to 'Quick Fliers' ("great, fast flying paper airplanes"). If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, you should go to the index and choose the more complicated designs, like the dragon plane. There's also a 'Links' section that lists other paper plane sites -- quite a few of them amazingly -- on the Web.

Junkbusters Home Page: If you feel your privacy is being invaded on the 'Net, this is one of the sites you should visit for some tips on how to keep trespassers out. You can find out how to "bust the junk messages out of your life", "master self-defense against privacy-invading marketing", "block banner ads and cookies" and "join the fight for privacy rights". As befits the subject, the home page is totally ad-free, and such section headings as 'Telemarketing Calls', 'Junk E-mail', 'Data About You' and 'Web Ads' take you immediately to where you want to go.

National Gallery of Art - The Collection Art lovers interested in exploring "the finest collections in the world illustrating major achievements in painting, sculpture, and graphic arts from the Middle Ages to the present" will find much to relish at this site. The collection of "more than 100,000 objects" can be accessed via 'Artist/Title Search', 'Subject Search', 'Expanded Search', 'Provenance Search' or 'Accession Number Search'. And you can take a tour of the collection under sections like 'Painting', 'Sculpture', 'Decorative Arts', 'Works on Paper' and 'Architecture'. It's a great resource centre for anyone interested in widening their knowledge of art, and the fast loads and simple layout make your visit pleasant.

Professional Web Design & HTML Tutorials: Wanna create your own website? Need some free step-by-step instructions on how to master HTML? Then this is the site for you. After digesting the introduction in 'Beginner Info', you can go through the multi-page 'Basic HTML Tutorial', 'Table Tutor' (for creating charts and tables), 'Form Tutor' (how to put in an interactive form) and 'Frames Tutor'. It's all presented in a clear, crisp style and you really have to be clueless about codes if you don't get it after a few tries. If you find the free info insufficient, you can always order a copy of the WebTutor Book and CD.

Schoolmaster - International Online Education Community: This "free service for schools" offers young people a chance to express themselves and share ideas on all the topics and issues that concern them. There's an online demonstration of how the Schoolmaster concept works, and there are two e-zines -- 'Pineapple Press' and 'Elastic' -- which deal with everything from pop culture to study subjects. You can actually have you own school community involved by assigning logons and passwords to them. It's a great concept that's sweetly executed.

The Yuckiest Site on the Internet: Presenting science as entertainment, this site, which tells you "all you need to know about barfing, belching and blackheads" and other "gross and cool stuff humans' bodies create", is a great hangout for kids. You can choose either an 'Extra Slimy' (Flash Player-enhanced) or 'Plain' version, and once you get in, you can enjoy `Yucky Fun & Games' or explore such sections as 'Worm World' and 'Roach World'. And if you click on 'Gross & Cool Body', you get a list that starts with 'Belches and Gas', 'Bad Breath' etc and ends with 'Poop' and 'Ankle Sprain'. It's all great fun, including the 'Yucky Poll' where you get to vote on such matters as "Two days of camp food and your stomach is a wreck".
