The Homework Zone at Lycos
At the Homework Zone, kids can "Look It Up" using the online Information Please Kids' Almanac, Encyclopedia, Dictionary, World Atlas, and Encyclopedia of Animals. In addition, by clicking on a subject heading (Math, Science, History, Language Arts, Reading, or Geography), kids can locate Internet sites pertaining to a particular topic they wish to research.
