Ask Jeeves for kids!

Although this site isn't specifically designed to help kids with their homework, it can be a great asset for zeroing in on information. A companion to the grown-up search engine, Ask Jeeves for Kids! makes it easy for students to research topics. Type in any question, such as "Why is the sky blue?," and Jeeves helps to find the answer online.
