Not much on graphics, but a lot of good information here. This is the middle school section of the SCORE mathematics site. It's a wonderful list of applicable Web resources in mathematics, fully annotated and including general reference sites plus lessons and activities. You, the detective, can help solve "The Case of Grandpa's Painting" and learn a few things about color, style, composition, and some famous artists at the same time. Fun stuff. The Academy of Achievement brings you pictures and stories of "legendary achievers" of the 20th century in areas such as arts, public service, sports, and science. It’s a diverse and interesting group. There’s also a section where you can hear achievers tell how important qualities such as passion and vision have been to them. (Slow, but there is a low bandwidth version.) This site has games, puzzles, and fables, many pertaining to Africa and African Americans. You can also find out a lot about the African continent. This is a good place to increase your child's appreciation for diversity.
