Recycling Game

Want to recycle more? You can practice with “Recycle THIS!” on NASA’s Climate Kids website, http://climate.nasa.gov/kids/games/recycleThis. Recyclables are thrown out a window at the top, and, using an “airburst” tool, you can deflect an object’s path into the correct recycling bin. Glass? Metal? Paper? Plastic? Or trash to decompose in a landfill? Sound (on/off) adds to the fun. Be the best recycler in your family or group of friend. The Earth will thank you!

To Quote A Physicist

"An experiment is a question which science poses to Nature and a measurement is the recording of Nature's answer." Max Planck


Planck discovered quantum physics and earned the Nobel prize. One of his sons was executed for his part in the failed attempt to assassinate Hitler in 1944. Interesting family!

Over 950 science websites for educators

I recently got a heads up from Julie O'Brien about her Everyday Science blog. She has gathered over 950 science websites and cataloged them for easy access. Check them out here. It's always great to find like minded science folks
