Science Matters is now on Pinterest!
It took a while, but I've gone through all the past posts and posted each activity onto an appropriate Pinterest board. I've tried to make the board categories specific enough to be useful, but not so useful as to have too many boards with only a couple things on each. (If you're looking for a more detailed breakdown, you can always check out the list of blog post labels on the left-hand side of the blog (scroll down a bit to get to it)).
It may be a bit redundant, but I'm actually finding it to be a really nice visual index of activities and am thinking that I may use it myself to search out activities by topic.
I know a bunch of my activities have already shown up on Pinterest, but by doing this, I can also make sure that the pins link to the correct page and so forth.
The next steps will involve using Pinterest to seek out new ideas to test out. I'm also hoping to run some sort of contest in which those of you who are Pinners can share some of your favorite science pins/boards with me, but I haven't yet worked out how that should work. Something to look forward to though!
In the meantime, check it out here! I'd love to hear what you think of it - leave me a comment!
Pinterest!!
