Resources
Like most people these days, I generally turn to the interwebs to look up information, but of course when I do, I cite it, or try to do so as best as possible and using trusted sites. I also turn to books and magazines for inspiration, confirmation, and general fun reading.
So here are some of the resources I've used to date... no doubt the list will keep expanding.
I also like a few kid shows that are pro-science and that nicely make science fun and funny for little kids, particularly, PBS' Sid the Science Kid (in which the characters even have little science notebooks that they log their pre-K-level experiments and observations in), and Dinosaur Train, which has a dinosaur family skipping across the Mesozoic exploring the different inhabitants of the three dinosaur ages.
So here are some of the resources I've used to date... no doubt the list will keep expanding.
- Radiolab — One of the most innovative shows on (TV, radio, or otherwise), I think that its approach to science is fun, relatable and fascinating. I can't recommend it enough if you're into science, or just good storytelling.
- National Geographic's The Science Book: Everything You Need to Know About the World and How it Works — Illustrated comprehensive guide to all things science. Great as a reference and just for fun reading.
- Discover Magazine — Good articles, interesting facts, and a variety of science topics.
- Wired — A tech-geared magazine that also has great pieces about current science and its many gadgets and trends.
