I would love a free copy of 365 More Simple Science Experiments With Everyday Materials
Anything the Smithsonian Institute is involved with is going to be such a great learning experience for the kids.
The Smithsonian Quest program sounds exciting. I am going to check it out. Can’t wait to introduce it to students.

I would love the 365 science experiments – I’m always looking for inexpensive science activities and this book would be great!
Wow, this just gets better and better. I love the Smithsonian! I could really use the 365 Simple Science Experiments in my classroom. My classes just love science experiments. One year I gave everyone in my class some string, paper clip, tube and small index card (for a secret message)to take home and create a pulley. They had a ball and almost everyone did it at home. They were showed how in class of course.
I love all those great programs that let us earn free supplies. keep it up.
The Smithsonian program sounds like a winner
