There’s a whole big world out there and things are happening in it all the time. Science is all around us and gives us insight into the workings of the everyday world.
Some things we may not just immediately “get. We examine or see something taking place and we think, “how does that work?”
“What caused that to happen?
It’s fun to figure out how things work and what causes certain events to take place.
It gives us hands-on experience in science and increases our interest in what’s going on in the world around us..
Have you developed a project that helps people to figure out what’s happening and allows them to learn?
Do you know a fun way to show them what’s taking place in the world around them?
We’d love to feature your project on our pages. Drop us a line.
