I don’t know about you, but my boys love science.
It could be because they have a former nurse for a mother and an engineer for a father — I guess we both show a natural inclination to the sciences — but I think it’s simply because science is interesting and just plain fun.
Chasing a frog? Science. Fishing? Science. Wondering about the weather? Science. Watching salt crystals grow? More science. (And more on this one later. We’ve had an intriguing experiment on our kitchen counter for months.)
One of the wonders of the current May blogathon is that I’ve discovered some amazing, incredibly fun blogs. Where else would I have found this?
That, my friends, is from Webb of Science, a great blog from scientist-turned-writer Sarah Webb. Check it out. The laughing rats are a hoot!
