Keeping science up to date

Librarians and teachers know that keeping a science collection current is one of the most difficult tasks in a children's collection. Books can go out of date almost as soon as they are published and certainly long before the book is worn out. Popular subjects like dinosaurs need constant updating as discoveries and interpretations change year by year. The Internet is a good place to find accurate and up-to-date science material and here is a new website to add to your list of resources ScienceNews for Kids. The language is easy enough for 8 or 9 year old children to follow and there are plenty of illustrations. The S.F. Chronicle made this their website of the week, so you can expect parents and kids to be asking about it soon.
