    Science

Science is fun, fascinating, and important. And it's not just in the classroom. It's all around us. The links below will help you explore your neighborhood, answer to a question, or find some great science links. Have fun! 

 

Ask Ben
Benjamin Franklin was one of America's great early scientists.

If you have a question about science, send it to Ben, and he will get an answer from a scientist right here in Castro Valley.

Science at Home

Fun Science with Mr. Reynes

Bay Nature Magazine
Cvparents.org has established a partnership with BAY NATURE Magazine, a quarterly publication that explores the natural world of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Ask The Scientist
This website is sponsored by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. They already have a large archive of questions that have been asked and answered. If you can’t find your question, send it to them, and you will get an answer from a real scientist. The scientist might be a graduate student still in training or a Nobel Prize winner!
