The summer in New Orleans is nothing if it isn’t HOT and HOTTER! While I love taking the kids outside to play, some days it is hard when the temperature is already 90 degrees at 8am! Today, I thought I would feature a great indoor science activity for those days when it’s just impossible to go outside!
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute has put together a really great “cool science” site for kids! Some of the experiments that will satisfy just about any curious kid include “diving in to the miniature world with a microscope” and “specks, flecks and particles in the air.“ The site also features a really neat “Ask a Scientist” section for all those questions Mom and Dad just can’t answer. The Howard Hughes Medical Institute is also a great resource for science fair projects!
Think you have a budding Scientist on your hands? Find out what some of the most prominent biomedical researchers think you need in order to make it happen!

Only 2 have told me so far.. a chef and a policeman.
My son is only 2, so it’s hard to guess what he’ll be. But based on his behavior, I would guess that extreme sports are in his future. Gulp!
