The Happy Scientist

As I (Kristy Collins) was searching the internet I came across this website- The Happy Scientist

In my opinion its a pretty cool site. There are a bunch of free resources on the site including "Science Photo of the Day", and the Experiment of the Week newsletter, and a "Free Stuff" page, with videos and experiments that are free for everyone. If you facebook "like" his page he periodically displays unique pictures from his travels and gives fun science facts about what is happening in the picture.

Also, from now through April 20, Mr. Krampf (i.e. The Happy Scientist) has granted free access to every student and teacher in Florida. He is trying to show his support for science education, and hopefully helping students perform better on the Science FCAT, Florida's high stakes science test. Mr. Krampf is also offering to anyone reading this blog a piggyback of sorts on this free access. All you have to do is go to the site, and click on the "Florida FCAT Crunch Time" link in the upper, right side of the page. That will end on April 20th, the day of the test.
