The wisdom of Ralph Waldo Emerson:
"Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow." "All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better."
Summer Fun
Chem4Kids.com This is a great site for the emerging chemist! The periodic table is colorcoded and explained. An explanation for each element is provided, including the number of electrons in the outer shell, the atomic number, and the atomic mass. Different scenarios of each particular element bonding with another element are discussed. A wav file is available to help students with pronunciation of each element.
Young Writer’s Workshop Parents and educators can use this site to access several story starters. An illustration and a few lines of text are provided to help the young student get started. It won’t be long before the student gains confidence in his or her own creativity! One writing tip is for parents and children to take turns making up a sentence to create stories together. Students can submit their work and selected work will be published online.
