Explore, Play, Discover: Websites & Activities | Exploratorium | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

...what makes the Exploratorium’s site unique is its approach to developing content. Our focus is on investigating the science behind the ordinary subjects and experiences of people’s lives. The topics themselves provide “hooks” that get people excited about science. Then, when we investigate these topics, we can also look at the historical and social issues surrounding them, thus providing a context for scientific exploration.
