Looking for more fun educational resources? Introducing EducateWithMe!

I’m always on the lookout for ANYTHING educational that might capture my kids’ interest.

I really do mean ANYTHING - be it a book, science kit, or even a live insect – anything that might capture their interest and keep them off the Playstation or Nintendo for a few hours.

And I’m willing to bet that as a parent, you’re the same way.

Actually, I know it for a fact, because I get emails every day from parents who have bought our Science Activities Bundle for their kids, and want to know what else I recommend.

Well, I’m very happy to say that we finally got into gear, and put together an answer, once and for all…

How to Spark Your Child’s Success in Science!

At Science With Me! we believe a parent can make a big difference in how a child views science. Seemingly small but crucial acts can spark a child’s desire to know more about the natural world. A word of encouragement, or an attitude of curiosity, may be the tipping point that leads your son or daughter to an early interest in science.

Research shows that parental involvement is just as important as the quality of a school in predicting how well children do academically. When parents are supportive, the children do better, regardless of socio-economic status, ethnic background, or the parents’ level of education. Read More..

Science With Me! brings you another simple science experiment: Cleaning Water!

Many of you have written to me over the past few weeks asking for some more experiments. You seem to particularly enjoy our Science With Africa! series. So… I finally got time to put another one together.
I hope you all have fun doing it at home or in the classroom, with the kids in your life. I am also trying to get this out to you before the weekend.  Like me, I know the weekend is often the only time you get to do something just for fun.

This is not the sort of post that I usually write.

Usually, I write about science and education-related issues, and I share fun experiments and activities that you can do with your child.
