I love this blog by a homeschooled, Christian teen!

This particular post, she reviewed a book called "Moonwalking with Einstein" - which I got from the library and am now reading. It is FASCINATING. All about how memory works and how to make yours better : )

(it does have the occasional "bad word" and a few "locker room" sort of references - but not very many-so be warned)

Check out her great post - then if you want, check out the book, too : )

Here's a Ted Talk by the author

(again, beware a couple of slightly inappropriate references)

The same (original) post had a link at the bottom to this DVD

The Mystery of Matter

ETA: I think you can watch it free here
http://www.pbs.org/show/mystery-matter/

It's a docudrama about the major scientific discoveries of Chemistry. DD and I watched to first hour today, and we were both on the edge of our respective seats with fascination. It's a really GREAT video (at least what I've seen so far) that gives a much better idea about chemistry and how our modern understanding of it came to be.

Check it out : )
