Did You Know That?

It's only a short matter of time before your kids know more about the world than you do. So, enjoy watching them explore and learn about various aspects of science by visiting Iknowthat.com. The Web site educates in a fun way, helping your child discover the wonder of science and other subjects. Premium items require registration, but there is plenty of free space to review. Your kids won't even know they're being, gasp, educated!

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from the May edition of the Lab Equipment newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on plastics industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Lab Equipment today.

Did you know that

I found a lot of interesting material on this site although I did find it disconcerting that the voice pronouncing "rough endoplasmic reticulum" sounded like that of a 5 year old. We studied this stuff in high school!

This is a visually-appealing, kid-friendly site. The layout looks like an episode from Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius.

I wonder how much of today's lack of interest in science has to do with a lack of hobbies. When I was a kid I didn't have a video game system or cable so I spent a lot of time taking things apart and putting them back together. My dad and I built a minibike out of an old lawn mover engine once.
I'm not saying TV rots the brain, but it consumes time that used to be filled by something called "play".
