Check out the YOS09 April page now!  There are so many great activities to do with your kids or on your own!  Lots and lots of learning opportunities. here are a few of my favorites:

The Fun Zone has crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, coloring pages, and energy themed games to help you learn about energy while having fun.

Meet the Scientists is always interesting :)

FWEE Power is sponsoring a Haiku contest!  A sample haiku:

The river runs through
Electrons buzz across wires
Power to people

There are four new activities to make using things around the house:

Magnetic Compass
