1). Transforming Your Kids Free Time By : Kadence Buchanan
Kids' free time usually leads to parents' busier periods. But this does not have to be the case. When your kids come home from school or their extracurricular activities, you can continue giving the choice of doing something fun and educative at the same time. If homework and reading for next day's classes is already completed, you can let them choose another type of leisure activity and add a lot of great kid-oriented fun to their daily routine.

2). Kids' Activities: The Magic Bag Is A Great Way to Introduce Kids To Fossils By : Claudia Mann
My long-time enjoyment of earth science, especially when it included fossil activities, had me doing earth science activities for kids from the time my own children were little ones. So when my middle school asked me to pick something to teach for six weeks that I just enjoyed, this was the first thing that came to mind. It was set up to be more like a club than a class, so while there were definitely learning goals, the most important goal was to have fun and enjoy ourselves.

3). Fossils: A Teaching Tool That Promotes Enthusiastic Learning By : Claudia Mann
How can you use fossils as a teaching tool? In my classrooms over the years, fossils have never failed to spark fun and enthusiasm for learning about earth sciences. I have seen students, otherwise disengaged in activities of learning, become totally captivated with the process of uncovering the fossil hiding beneath the surface of soft rock. Fossils connect students to the history of our planet.

4). Making a star out of your child By : Socrates Olympio
Copyright 2006 Socrates Olympio In an age where the playstation, internet and the ipod seem to reign, it is increasingly difficult to stimulate kids to achieve great feats especially in the traditional domains such as the visual arts, maths and sciences. The upsurge in interest in the new age hobbies and addictions represent a departure from the good 'old days' when kids played long and hard and were healthy as could be; obesity was a rarity and invention and creativity were not frowned upon nor shunned by kids.

5). Forget Iran, Why Iraq must be solved soon. By : Socrates Olympio
Copyright 2006 Socrates Olympio The misadventure of the 'coalition of the willing' into Iraq poses probably the greatest danger to everybody in ways both determined and undetermined. The most obvious global implications are currently the hike in oil prices (which in many respects is a good thing), a general sense of insecurity within the region and a heightened sense of alertness of many western security services.
