Thanks so much for including Science Sparks, what a great list of blogs to be part of.
Happy to, Emma! I love all the hands-on science ideas you share on the blog!
You might like my website KitchenPantryScientist.com! It’s full of easy science projects using stuff you have on hand. I also have a free iPod/iPhone/iPad app called KidScience app that lets you search for projects by ingredients, time available or age of child. Here’s the link: http://kidscienceapp.com.
Liz, I have never heard of your site, so thank you for sharing. I’ll have to check it out.
ETA: Wow, Liz there is a ton of hands-on kitchen science on your site! I’m adding a pin for it now :-)…
I would love to be included, http://evavarga.net
🙂
(Palm to forehead) Of course Eva! I have enjoyed your STEM posts tremendously. I’ll be sure to add a pin later today :-).
I’m pretty close to speechless and teary-eyed. Thank you for including me in this list. The first 9 blogs (and KitchenScienceApp) have been a huge inspiration to me as we learn science in our homeschool. Thanks for introducing me to a few more via the comments section! I need all the inspiration I can get!
Mia, your welcome! I have thoroughly enjoyed your blog since I found it. Glad to introduce you to a few new ones :-).
What a great list. I’m going to add it to my resources page (sending people to your blog, of course). It’s freeing knowing *I* don’t have to be all things to all people. Each of us is good at something, so it’s OK to be terrible at others (like practical experiments). 🙂
Thanks Cheri for adding the post to your resources lists. It is true that we all are good at something and not so good others :-).
Wow! So honored to be included on this list with so many amazing bloggers. Thank you for introducing your readers to my little piece of cyberspace!
Your welcome Debi and thank you for writing such a great blog!
