Hello everyone!
I found a cool science site the other day called "Earth and Sky - a clear voice for science"
Here is the link: http://www.earthsky.org/kids/[/URL]
They have two sections: short articles and podcasts (avg. 9 minutes long).
The articles and podcasts are by scientists and cover intresting and varied topics. In general the articles are suited for around 8 and up and the podcasts for 12 and up. Examples of articles are: "Why is the sky blue", "Why don't tree branches grow straight up?", and "How far can a spider reach?" Some examples of podcasts are: "Robots replace animals in toxicology testing", "Marc Bekoff on animal joy, animal sorrow", and "Deep sea sharks in trouble".
They also have a section called "Tonights sky" for all of you amateur astronomers.
They have new articles and podcasts every couple of days. We will be checking this site out often.
