I've been looking for a few websites good for Cosmology and Physics, maybe you guys can help? I'm in 8thgrade, but I can comprehend a lot, just try to stay away from websites that have excessive technical math please. All posts are appreciated.
 
Space news on Phys.org
Here's a few you might find useful:

Ned Wright's Frequently asked questions about cosmology is non-technical and very well written:
http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/cosmology_faq.html#CC
You might also want to navigate to his home page and explore from there.

Physics Made Easy is very good, but doesn't shy from math:

Hyperphysics provides a great mind-map with brief and to the point outlines of the subjects with references and further reading:
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/HFrame.html
(cosmology is covered in the astrophysics section)

Charles Lineweaver's publications are generally accepted as excellent pedagogical material.
This one here might be a bit daunting in places, but still very accessible:
http://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/level5/March03/Lineweaver/Lineweaver_contents.html

I've found another detailed breakdown of the subject of Big Bang cosmology at TalkOrigins.org:
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/astronomy/bigbang.html#evidence
It's more from the "debunking the creationsts" angle, but looks scientifically accurate. Maybe somebody else can verify that.
 
Wow! Thank you, these were great.
 
Believe it or not youtube is a great place to search, just about every aspect of science is covered with multiple video's explaining the same thing using slightly different analogies.
