Remember
the
old
“WonderScience”
newsletter
with
chemistry
activities
for
kids,
focused
around
a
particular
topic?
This
is
the
on-line
version.
Through
the
“what’s
up?”
link,
you
can
access
past
issues
for
other
topics.
The

link
provides
background

The
Miami

this
site
together.
Many
of
the
activities
are
more
appropriate
for
middle
school
students,
but
there
are
some
for
elementary.
There
is
a
fun
one
related
to
electrical
safety
in
the
home.
To
find
it,
access
“Frankenstein’s
Lightning
Laboratory.”

Check
out
this
site
as
a
possible
extension
or
enrichment
opportunity
for
chemistry
investigations
in
the

The
interactivity
is
appealing,
but
you’ll
need
time
to
“play.”
