WHY ARE THERE BUBBLES IN THE SODAS WE DRINK? I love it when I can do a science experiment to help me understand why things are the way they are, and that’s what science does. Science means knowledge, and that’s a good thing to have, right? I’ve found a few interesting experiments to go along […]

The Summer Reading Program tour is over now and we are back in Arizona. I think this summer program was the best ever, and we have lots of photos and some fan letters to prove it! I’m glad to say I have more time to read now, so I plan to check out a few […]
