One of the true pioneers and experts for providing things for children to learn online is Eric H. Chudler. Ph.D. His Website Neuroscience for Kids goes way back to 1996 and has remained innovative and consistently excellent through the formative and now more established years of the Internet.

It turns out that like anyone who knows and understands kids, Dr. Chudler has a concern for their safety, and in particular the safety of their eyes. His Eye Safety Web page is a list to go over with children provided by a top scientist and teacher. The list includes so science project tips, like: Point chemical sprays away from your face BEFORE spraying. There is a section on the body’s “built-in” devices to protect eyes, and a link to click to learn more about the blink and other reflexes.
