to think a good educational program would...

[WhereChaosTheoryRules]

.. have a website to their experiments.

Ds saw an episode of the backyard science from New Zealand (?) and wants to do their cloud in a jar experiment. All i know is that it involves a jar and a rubber glove -according to ds. i want some instructions but can find anything when google. This program has some great basic experiments but I want instructions to print out the sodding experiments so they can be done as i want to and not have to watch it taking notes.

AIBU to think this is a bit of a crap oversight?

Can't find
oh dear, i am being crap in the old writing department tonight

You need [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Backyard-Science-Chris-Maynard/dp/0789469715/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid =1265738021&sr=8-2-spell this]!

I concur.

Well done on doing (or trying to do) science experiments with your DS though!

There may be something useful here...

tethersend - you are fab - you've just helped sort my lesson plan for year 7 tomo. Ddint know they had resources. Off to look in more detail

Rebeccaj - that book looks just what i was talking about. why have a webpage when you can make a mint selling the book thankyou

Tonight's experiment put on hold due to ds performing his own (seeing what happens if you wee into a nappy bag and leave it in a cup in your bedroom - predictable result being mum goes pschyo and cancels experiment) His explanation was priceless though. going to have to keep an eye on him.
