A: I am a Denver boy who’s tried his hand on the east coast, west coast, Japan and Texas and have found no greater place to be than Denver. I have a band called Total Ghost that I spend a lot of time outside of work in and I love to snowboard in the winter and ride bikes and longboard when in the summer. Also I hope to one day own and run a beer brewery.

We are excited to announce our new partnership with YouTube EDU and the YouTube for Schools project. Students and educators now have access to our entire library of science experiment videos in the classroom. No more work arounds or third-party sites to try to show videos in the classroom. YouTube listened to what educators and parents wanted and created something that will forever change the way teachers use videos in the classroom.
To join YouTube for Schools or learn more about the program, visit www.youtube.com/schools For detailed step-by-step instructions on how to sign up, please read this YouTube Help Center article.

It’s August and that means one thing for parents, children and teachers – back to school time. The parents are ready to shoo the kids out the door but the kids may or may not be excited about starting back up. Teachers are back in the classrooms prepping and planning and ready to meet their new students.
Back to school is an exciting and stressful time for everyone. If you are a parent, are you ready to send your kids back into the classroom? Have you done the school supply shopping and prepping that goes into this yearly event? If you are a teacher, are you ready to welcome the kids back to learning? Create a WOW! event to welcome your students back into the classroom – something to get them excited and engaged from the first day of school and all the way throughout the year.
There’s nothing like a hands-on science activity to pull out the first week of school like bubbles, beads, worms, slime or marbles. Steve Spangler Science is excited to offer
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
Welcome to the Carnival of Education, hosted right here at Steve Spangler Science! As all good teachers well know, the best education is the education that encourages us all to get down and dirty with it: in other words, touch it, feel it, experience it fully. Connect it with other things you know. Activate your schema! Textbooks are good, and full of fascinating and useful information. However, if one student is given a textbook reading assignment and nothing else, and another student is encouraged to get up after reading and APPLY what he just read by putting his/her hands into and on and around smelly, goopy, noisy, exploding, changing, growing things, guess which student is going to remember the lesson best? Guess which student is going to talk about the lesson at the dinner table that nig?t. Yeah, that’s what we THOUGHT you’d all say! AWESOME!
Here we go! Let’s walk around the lab and see what we’ve

Let’s all put on our lab coats, step away from the mistletoe for a few minutes, and start making some DISCOVERIES!
