Happy New School Year!
Our household started back this week, so I'm hopeful once we settle into the new routine, I'll find more time to work on the blog and put into play some of my many ideas.
I know some of you are returning to the blog after a summer hiatus, so I thought I'd take a minute to highlight a few things you might have missed over the summer.
Science Matters can now be found on Facebook. If you use that form of social media, I'd love to have you join us there. It's currently a small following, but I hope to increase the things going on over there, especially as we grow in numbers. There may even be some special opportunities available to Facebook friends!
I've also started a Science Matters Pinterest account. There you'll find all the activities in the Science Matters archives, organized by topic. It seems to be well-received and I'm enjoying the visual index of activities.
And finally, for the rest of the month, you can enjoy a 15% discount when shopping at Pow! Science. The discount code is SCIMATTER0913, can be used as many times as you like and applies to any size order.
