And more science…

This isnt for the faint hearted, but perfect for halloween!! Froguts is a ‘virtual dissection’ CD. Check out the demo section - and if you can find anything more gross, I don’t want to know!!

Book Review - Doing the Days

Doing the Days by Lorraine Dahlstrom has been quite a hit in our household.

Periodic Table Top Trumps

We are investigating mining at the moment (don’t ask!!) and this has led us into looking at the Periodic Table. So guess what I found? Chemistry Top Trumps!!!   They are at Stax-o-facts, and quite reasonably priced too, I thought.
