Hi Mamas! I am in need of finding some good books, websites, etc. about teaching science to my little guy. He loves doing science experiments and is a very hands on/visual learner, but I am not sure what I should be doing. I want him to have lots of fun doing experiments, but I also want to make sure that he is learning the "whys" and "hows" about what he is doing.<br>
Thanks for any ideas!!!!!
