Science for the Kiddies
>> Thursday, January 22, 2009
While carousing on a site where I have gotten some great science news in the past, I actually clicked the link on the right for Science News for Kids, and I must say, I WAS BLOWN AWAY! The site is run by Eureka Alert. Needless to say, the writing style is easy to understand, makes references to kids pop culture so that they can relate, and is really just great. Go see for yourself!
Some examples of recently published articles are:
- An article about invisibility cloaks in real life making reference to Harry Potter
- Stories about other kids crusading to help the honey bees
- A list of the top science books for kids and teens
If you have a little budding scientist, this site is for them. There are even fun links like birds and their songs and other sciencey websites to visit. Ok, I am off for more browsing!

I love Science News for Kids, too. In fact, I have that site on my blogroll. I'm trying to figure out how I could write for them.
I think that would be remarkable. I really wish there was someway of breaking into science journalism for kids. Seems like so much fun!
