HowStuffWorks, which began in 1998 at a college professor's kitchen table, has garnered dozens of awards and features thousands of posted articles and podcasts about everything from cars to animals to money. There are even HowStuffWorks Quizzes, Shows, and Videos, as well as an app for both iOS and Android devices. Unsurprisingly, the Science section of the HowStuffWorks website is loaded with fascinating facts. After scouting the Most Popular section on the landing page, readers may like to jump to What's Inside: Science, which boasts over a dozen topics, such as Engineering, Environmental Science, Forces of Nature, Innovation, and others. Don't miss the article, "10 Historical Robots," which explicates automata from as far back as Swiss clockmaker Pierre Jaquet-Droz's 1774 intricately constructed moving dolls. Readers are sure to find hours of edifying entertainment on this most famous of science sites. This will be added to Reference Resources Subject Tracer™.
