Yahooligans
http://www.yahooligans.com/

Ages: 6 - 14.
Subject: Index of child friendly web sites.
Yahooligans is an offshoot of Yahoo and contains commercial advertisements.
Yahooligans is a well managed, easily searched list of child-friendly web sites. The list includes both educational and entertainment sites. The "School Bell" section is especially useful to students. For example, if a child has been given an assignment on the Declaration of Independence, he or she can click on the School Bell category, then click on the Homework Answers category, then click on the History category, then click on the U.S. Historical Documents category and then click a link to the actual Declaration of Independence. This process is more intuitive than it may sound. Some homework categories are not yet well represented.
