Sid's Online Safety Guide

Here’s a list of rules to help you stay safe when you’re online. How many of them can you remember? Why not print them out and put them up next to your computer.

1. I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parents work address/telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my parent's permission. 

2. I will tell my parents right away if I came across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable. 

Surf Well

Surf Swell island provides you with lots of adventures in internet safety so that you can collect jewels to take to treasure palace – are you brave enough to take the challenge?

Think You Know

The “Thinkuknow” website is brought to you by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) centre. You may have seen some of their video clips on National TV recently.

There’s a lot of information here for both children and adults – parents even have their own area of the site!

Teachers have the chance to train from the professionals and then deliver suitable training in schools.

Safety Land

Safety land is normally a very nice place to live, but a nasty character is sending yucky emails and messages. Captain Broadband needs your help to find the nasty character. You need to navigate around Safety land answering questions. When you have answered them all correctly, the nasty character will be taken to jail and you’ll become a certified hero, just like Captain Broadband.

Science Experiment 

Below is an experiment for you to try at home with your child. The experiments are for fun and use materials you should already have in the home.

Does an Orange Float or Sink?

Does an orange float or sink when placed in water? Seems like a fairly straight forward question, but is it? Give this fun density science experiment for kids a try and answer the question while learning a unique characteristic of oranges.

What you'll need:

• An orange
• A deep bowl or container
• Water

Instructions:

1. Fill the bowl with water.
2. Put the orange in the water and watch what happens.
3. Peel the rind from the orange and try the experiment again, what happens this time?

What's happening?

The first time you put the orange in the bowl of water it probably floated on the surface, after you removed the rind however, it probably sunk to the bottom, why?

The rind of an orange is full of tiny air pockets which help give it a lower density than water, making it float to the surface. Removing the rind (and all the air pockets) from the orange increases its density higher than that of water, making it sink.

Density is the mass of an object relative to its volume. Objects with a lot of matter in a certain volume have a high density, while objects with a small amount of matter in the same volume have a low density.
