Judges Comments:

Well designed site that gives the user access to images, reference material and extensive information.

-Angela Brayham

I like the fun aspect of this site, which would seem to draw users into finding out more about the various subjects. Also that the ologists section includes kids who use the site. The collectable cards are a good idea. It makes science seem interesting and fun to do.

-Jim O'Donnell

Ology is a wonderful informal science learning experience for kids.

-Karen Elinich

I have visited this site several times. I have found it to be interesting and engaging with a wealth of information behind the visually pleasing interface.

-John Chadwick

Overall the site is very content rich and full of fun ideas and whilst superficially it looks as though the developers have avoided a formal learning/lesson structure, the website does indeed contain an array of projects that easily lend themselves to use in a formal teaching environment.
