Giggles example: our kiddos would be very into the invisible ink from the module video, but they probably wouldn't love making the DIY hovercraft. ]]> 2021-04-27 23:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bellearmitage/b3a3wbuu5w15qspd/wish/1466801533 bellearmitage https://padlet.com/bellearmitage/b3a3wbuu5w15qspd/wish/1466813509 Not just electronic technology...

Science is usually seen as a strict "academic" subject. ]]> 2021-04-27 23:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/bellearmitage/b3a3wbuu5w15qspd/wish/1466818304 bellearmitage https://padlet.com/bellearmitage/b3a3wbuu5w15qspd/wish/1466821399 Yes, because it doesn't have to be a strict academic experience!
