The Moon is falling right now. So is Earth. That's not a typo, it's literally what an orbit is. Free gravity and orbit worksheets for World Space Week, two versions, going beyond "memorize the planets" into concepts usually saved for high school.

Three free async classes this month, no strings attached. An AI robot explaining himself, the real science Ray Bradbury hid inside a short story, and what it would actually take to grow food on Mars.

I read a lot of middle-grade novels looking for the right science hook, and most of them just don't have one. They're good stories, but the science is either missing entirely or stapled on at the end. City of Ember is different. It doesn't just contain science. It's structurally about the loss of it.

Almost no child actually hates science—what they hate is science disconnected from anything they care about. If your student gets glazed eyes when asked "what is surface tension?" but tunes in when asked how forensic science solves a mystery, here is why their brain is wired for problem-solving over abstract facts.

If your child got stranded on Mars tomorrow with a bag of potatoes, could they actually grow dinner in the dirt outside their window? We look at what Hollywood got right, what it got dangerously wrong, and how real scientists are solving the Mars food problem.
