Links of the week June 26th

Educational:

Square 1TV: Tessellations Beachy keen

Primary color mixing - A rhyme along with color fun

Color mixing game - fun, but no real explanations (tertiary colors, lights and pigment)

Color mixing thing - with information, not really a game, but interesting and fun

Web History calendar - American history birthdays and event, fun snippets all year round

Coloring pages - from letters to states and plenty in between

Fish count - simple counting flash game, site is a bit ad heavy though

Worst jobs - part 1 of 5 about Anglo Saxon life, very neat way to get a bit of history.  Their are more in the same vein.  We will try to watch more.

Scratch - excellent basic programing for kids by MIT.  Must download, well worth it IMO

Political:

Adolescent troubles - 26 is the new 16

War on drugs, worse than drugs- anything can be abused.  Gov't is lousy at stopping that

15 things about Weed - not as bad for you as most think  (btw I do not condone the use of weed, I just think locking folk up for it is wrong)

10 things they don't teach you in school - Language alert, very true and good funny info, but it is cracked, not for kids, sorry.

Sports as science - Satire, but maybe if we studied Sci as much as we do sports we would be able to tell fact from fiction in the sci 'reporting'

News

Better mousetrap -some folk are interested in building a better mouse trap!

Misc:

Good imagination -Stuff no one taught me blog

Why capitalize 'I' - most cultures don't, many capitalize 'You' though.

Trust in God - and stop screaming in terror, it drowns out good advice

Water logged ducks! - Ducks circumnavigate the world twice over!
