===**On this BBC website you will see beautiful graphics and be able to read lots of interesting information about historical events that have taken place in Space. Unfortunately you can't watch the videos as they are not available in Malaysia. When you first visit the site it is probably a good idea to click on the "view all topics" button so that you get a good idea of the topics covered before you start looking for specific information.** ===



===**Amazing Space contains beautiful graphics, links to movies and very detailed information. You will find information about space missions, the history of telescopes and various aspects of the solar system. This website would be good for those children looking for in-depth material and statistics.** ===

It is written in child-friendly language and not only is it available in English, but it is also available in German, Italian and Portuguese. You are able to select information from Level 1 or Level 2, so if you are one of our EAL learners, you can choose which one suits you best.** ===
