support the scholarship fund, and this book is full of fun things to show science to children (and adults). It's really timeless and a lot of fun.

Stuff like this is always fun...my kids have spent the last month in their 10th grade Bio class learning....well, nothing.
Are there any fun ways to prove Global Warming isn't a religion but is Real Science in there?

Well, when you can provide some real science that shows it isn't (and you've been asked to do this since you showed up here, and have yet to do so), then we can talk.
Until then, every peer-reviewed article on the topic for 20 years says GW is Science. Shame for you, I guess.

Not in a position to bid, but looks, fantastic, I have the unfortunate habit of looking at the books that British Pubs seem to want to put to decorate them but don't want you to read,
Have found some beautiful 1930-50 science books for kids, Radio and telegraphy, Chemistry, Radiatioactivity (now that was fun to read ) and general edumacation books. (Yeah Voltage is fun if you can't feel the pain the resistor is too high) all of these books allowed me to realise that all the knowledge we recieve isn't automatic, calculating mass and pressure of air with baloons and water buckets, or making your own batteries/motors/flamethrowers*
I have always like kitchen science, everything from Breadmaking and beer brewing to decomposition/preservation of fish and making soda/salt/alum crystals. tons of fun, and who ever forgets their first Marshmallow/Egg/Can of beans/Lightbulb/Sodium Chlorate soaked toilet roll in a microwave experiment, second only to an old Pressure cooker with spongefoam/rice/pearl barley in it when you lift off the augmented weight :)
excuse me, have the urge to do some silly experimenting and then some decorating after apologies to the fire brigade
*Granted that was via application of further recieved knowledge but the air pressure experiment and availability of parafins sort of made it a 6 year old inevitability

Nope, I can't. I guess you are right.
Oh, I can't provide any proof that the sun rises in the east, either. I guess that means it rises in the west, huh?

If ever a post deserved the laughing dog, it was this one.

I'm amazed at some of the things you claim are true, and the level of your writing ability, and yet you can't think of a way to prove something as simple as the sun rising in the east.
My 6-year old son could probably think of a couple ways, and he goes to (gasp!) public school.

Wow, is this what you do with every thread? Jump in, make a snide comment about the topic, then completely change the subject and inject your own agenda?
That in my book is a troll. Perhaps that you are a troll is common knowledge around here.

Maybe your kids should spend some more time studying. :rolleyes:

Yup, pretty much. Congrats on having stupid children.
