Science for Children
My four-year-old already knows that the best way to please me is to talk about science, proclaim himself to be a scientist, or call me a scientist. :D When I happened upon the Science With Me! website this past week, I was very excited. Along with clearly explained scientific concepts demonstrated using animations, games, and science projects, there is a Famous Scientists Worksheet on Watson and Crick. While you’re at it, check out founder Dr. Elva O’Sullivan’s blog, Science for Kids, too!
Update: Check out what I just found. The ScienceWiz DNA Experiment Kit with materials to “extract DNA from a fruit, build a double helix, solve a chromosome puzzle and transform and grow their own green glowing cells.” Woohoo!

NCurse: lol I believe Elva happened upon my heart disease blog because she was coming from Scienceroll. I’ve also written her up for all my b5 blogs, including A Hearty Life and Play Library.
Thanks for the link to scientific games.

[…] Hsien sent me a link to Science With Me a little while ago, I didn’t have a chance to blog it until now, but she did! Anyway, it’s a cool site with a free membership so you and your kids can learn about static electricity (which I had my own run it with today) and fingerprints. Everything seems to be written in nice, kid-friendly language and the experiments are short and easy (maybe messy too!). […]
