In an effort to reach out to the public, the Solar-Heliospheric Research Group here at the University of Michigan's  Space Physics Research Laboratory has provided this web site for kids and non-scientists.  The content is appropriate for both children and adults, as you can change the level of difficulty to fit your needs by clicking on the more or less detail links at the bottom of most pages.  There are some great things to learn and lots of fun stuff to explore, so enjoy!
