I am always on the lookout for good science activities, and Nye Labs is a great site to find some of the many activities that they suggest on the television programs. The hands on science activities are well thought out, and most are very simple to implement. I enjoy the Bill Nye show and there is an episode guide to help you in selecting shows to go along with the activities. The site is done in flash and is well designed and works well.

On a personal note, which I rarely share on my site I do take issue with the loading page depicting evolution. It frustrates me that evolution theory is so widely accepted as fact when probability based on scientific studies really deem it next to impossible. Yet the scientific community totally dismisses the one thing that could make it a possibility, being divine design. I just think Science is about looking at many possibilities, and keeping an open mind to the many theories out there. It seems that the scientific community in general is moving away from the open-mindedness of the past and getting into a rut by totally dismissing other possibilities. OK, I over generalized, University Professors, and Government Funded scientist have fallen into the rut. There are many in private industry that keep an open mind. Maybe thats why most of the great discoveries in modern times came from private companies and not from Universities. Sorry about my soap box but it is my blog, and I needed somewhere to vent.
