Since we did science for Wednesday Websites, I decided to do a science video for Friday Funny!
It's cute AND educational. You can't beat it!

Wonders of the World--History, Geography, Science and more
Back when we did Classical Conversations, mija learned the "7 Wonders of the Ancient World" song which goes like this:
She was almost 5 at time. I know. Adorable! ;-)
Anywho...
I came across this cool site by Google entitled World Wonders Project. Using all that Google map technology, the project takes you to various historical and natural wonders of the world. You can search by location or by theme to find everything from Stonehenge to the Grand Canyon. Google uses it's street view to actually allow you to walk around the area. There are also history information, videos, photos, and more available for each location.
Here's one of their promotion videos to show you what I mean.
Check it out!

Wednesday Websites--Science
After participating in World Science Day last week, I decided we needed to share some science websites.
Answers in Genesis is an awesome ministry an they have Answers for Kids which means all the science there has a Biblical Worldview. There is a lot about animals and there are also videos and activities.
Steve Spangler Science - Making Science Fun!
Steve Spangler Science sells all kinds of science supplies, but they also have a whole page of science experiments. I like it because the pages separates them by subject and each experiment explains the science behind it. I like that because a lot of experiments just seem like fun activities with no explanations about what it demonstrates.
Scholastic has The Magic School Bus page. Mija enjoys the games and activities, but was disappointed to find only clips from the show and the book link was to purchase the books not for online books. (I understand why, but she was expecting more.) There is also a link for parents/teachers with experiments, printables, etc.
With Easter coming up, it might be nice to remember Candy Experiments. It even has some specific experimnts for Easter eggs and Easter candy! 
They even have a book.
