• 7 Tips For Teaching Children Science, by Robert Burke
  Getting kids interested in science at an early age is very important. It's easier than you think. Science does not have to be something mysterious. It is happening all around us, and you can use everyday things to encourage your children's interest and knowledge.
• The Jurassic Period - More Than Just Dinosaurs, by Claudia Mann
  The Jurassic Period lasted more than 60 million years. It began after the Triassic Period about 206 million years ago and lasted until 144 million years ago at the beginning of the Cretaceous period. It is often called the Age of the Dinosaurs. The climate of this period was warm and stable.
• Science Projects Should Be Fun And Informative, by Aaron Vaughn
  It's very difficult for a parent to stand on the sidelines and watch their child work on a complicated science project without trying to jump in and take over. Even though the temptation is always there, parents must only help; they should not get in the way. The key to a child's successful learning about science, or anything for that matter, is for the parents to do their part to guide, not drive.
• Women In Science, by Kadence Buchanan
  More than 25 years have gone by since the U.S. Congress passed the Women in Science and Technology Equal Opportunity Act, which states that it is "the policy of the United States that men and women have equal opportunity in education, training, and employment in scientific and technical fields." But today's academic field illustrates a different reality than that the U.S. Congress wishes to exist. Even if major advances have occurred in relation to women's role in education, academic institutions are still not fully utilizing the pool of women scientists they are producing each year. In fact, the difference between the proportions of women who earn Ph.D.'s and those who are in faculty positions at top universities appears to be most evident in the biological and physical sciences, as well as in engineering.
