SCIENCE SATISFACTION

If you have kids who enjoy science news, you'll love this link to Indiana University's page "A Moment of Science." There are bite-size articles and podcast scripts on so many bizarre little topics that you just have to go there and see it to believe it. Science-loving kids can have a field day on this page, and if reading ability is an issue, you can choose some interesting topics (there are sooooooooooo many!), print them, and add one a night to your bedtime reading routine.

(Jen, if you're reading this post, this site will add yet another level to the already extraordinary archive of bizarre facts you keep in your head!)

One caveat: Depending on your child's age, and your personal preferences, you might want to check out the topics ahead of time. While there is nothing overtly offensive in the list, you might not want your child suddenly coming up to you asking about sciency questions that deal with sex. However, there are very few of those.

Here's the site:   http://amos.indiana.edu/library/scripts.html

Let me know what you think and if you'd like to specifically recommend any of the stories you find there!

Stumble It!

Hi, thanks for stopping by my blog! I'm glad you found something useful, that's why I do it :) And definitely feel free to mention me as a resource if you want - I had to learn frugality the hard way and plan to pass everything I learn on to my kiddos!
