What are some fun and educational websites for middle schoolers (7th and 8th grade.)? d 8th grade.)?
My computer tech class is having an extra credit project which requires posting your favorite websites on a class website. The rules are that it has to be fun, educational, informative, and entertaining. Also it has to be accessible at a middle school, which is why I can’t do mine on youtube or myspace. Lastly, I have to write a short description on what it is about for the full points.
Thanks!
My sister in law teaches 7th and 8th graders, and they love to use

Each time you solve a trivia question correctly, the UN donates 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program to fight world hunger. It also shows you your level of knowledge on each subject, because as you answer more questions correctly, the questions get harder.
I think it’s pretty cool and a great way to encourage both charity and learning! 
Hope that helps!
