Homeschool Students Put the Experiments in Naked Eggs Book to the Test

I received a message from a homeschool Mom who wanted to put our new book, Naked Eggs and Flying Potatoes, to the ultimate test… give it to her kids! Lori’s three children are enrolled in Colorado Virtual Academy (COVA), an online public charter school, and she’s always looking for additional support materials for her curriculum. I’ll let you take a look at her review of Naked Eggs for yourself, but my favorite part was looking at all of the photos and even videos of her kids doing the experiments. Judging from what I can see in the pictures, the kitchen didn’t burn down… and that’s a good thing.

Carnival of Education, #190

We are honored to periodically host the Carnival of Education. Hats off to our good friend Jane Goodwin for all of her work on the latest Carnival. – editor

It’s time to put on our thinking caps and experience the 190th Carnival of Education, right here at Steve Spangler’s blog!

All learning is scientific, you know.  The world is a giant laboratory, and every day, we are all, regardless of our ages, making discoveries never before known to mankind.

Perhaps some of you will make some discoveries right here at the Carnival of Education!

Remember now, we don’t all necessarily have to agree on everything to appreciate it, or realize that it has a value.

Let’s begin with some Games for the Brain.  That will make us alert and ready for some educational action.

Over at Three Standard Deviations to the Left, there is some discussion about low expectations.  Mr. IB lets us know, in no uncertain terms, that HIS expectations are high.
