A few ScienceBlogs writers recently highlighted science websites for kids. I’m going to link to the various blogs right now in this post so as to archive this good information before the group of blog posts fades away.
Chaotic Utopia: “In a child’s hand, the computer can be a distraction or a frustration… or it can be a source of fun and knowledge. It is up to us, as parents and teachers, to show our kids how this versatile tool can be used.”
Adventures in Ethics and Science: “I thought I’d mention one of my favorite online destinations for kid-strength chemistry. Luddite that I am, what I like best is that the site isn’t hypnotizing your child with a virtual chemistry experiment, but actually gives you activities to do with the child in the three-dimensional world.”
Thus Spake Zuska: “In my experience, young girls especially want to know the ways in which a scientist or engineer has a “normal” life in addition to the things they do that are so difficult for the girls to imagine. When they realize that the scientist also wears jeans, has a dog, and likes pizza, they start to imagine that they can be just like her – they can be a scientist, too.”
Omni Brain: Lot o links.
Once I find some time to visit all of those great links myself, I will try to list them all on the Florida Citizens for Science links page.
