Welcome everyone, this is it! The launch of my first ebook, “Young Scientists”. To get it you just have to click here or on the link to the right ———–>
It covers:
- Why should I do science with my kids? How can you do it with a baby!?
- Observation – what is it and how can babies, toddlers and kids do it?
- How to turn anything your kids are doing into a science activity.
- Lots of suggestions for activities you can do.
- Predict, Observe, Explain, a simple framework science teachers use. (I’ve just done one of these with my 4 year old which will be posted next week. Very proud Mummy moment!)
- Suggested resources.
- Heaps of links back to the blog to explain the activities in more detail.
Much of it is covered somewhere or other on the blog, although a lot of it has just been written up for the first time. But because it is in a standard book format you can find things more easily than trying to search for a blog post when you don’t know what you’re searching for! I think this way is more useable on a day-to-day basis. As an ebook, it has links throughout so you can zoom around inside it rather than turning pages, plus embedded links to useful activities on the blog. Or if you want to take it to bed or read it while getting the baby to sleep, print it out. And if things get spilt on it, you can print it again!
So download, then come back and join in the party
Cheers!
beer,
and softdrinks
There are some nibblies now,
the pizza will be out of the oven soon (depending on your timezone),
And there might even be some dessert later.
So enjoy yourselves and say hello!

Congrats on the book. As a mum (and fellow scientist) I am looking forward to reading and finding new ways to get my wee girl into science. I’ll join you with a wine
Cheers! My husband has just given me a plate of camembert, olives etc and two panadol for my gallstone!
Congratulations Deb! I’m really excited for you, and looking forward to using the ideas in your book with my budding scientist
Thankyou! It might help keep her busy when you’re so busy. Not long now?
I’m 27 weeks now, so not too long!
How exciting
Wow! Thank you Deb, the book is great! So many ideas I wouldn’t have thought of (and in fact didn’t with #1 and #2..lucky #3). Thanks again
Thankyou! You’re very quick, have fun
Hey Deb!
Thanks for the download! I look forward to doing them with my kids. They’re almost 5 yr old twins & a 6 year old.
It’s cicada shell season at the moment. Have your kids been out looking for them? My kids are just fascinated by them.
Going to read your book now
We don’t seem to get them here, although they have them in Alice which is relatively close. We’re having a great time catching grasshoppers at the moment, although one landed on the little one a couple of weeks ago and now she has complete hysterics when she sees an insect.
Hope you enjoy it.
Congrats Deb! Can’t wait to read it soon.
Thanks
Are you sponsoring the hunt? I was away when it went out to sponsors so I’ve missed out this time, feels really weird.
Thanks, Deb, you’ve done a great job! Fantastic to have your info in e-book form – I find it so much easier to use & refer to. Very exciting! And now, don’t mind if I do grab a piece of that pizza…
Yep, blogging’s wonderful as an ongoing thing, but I can see people really need everything there where they can find it to use it.
The pizza’s very yummy.
Congratulations Deb. Looking forward to reading and sharing it:)
Oh for a cold beer but I’ll have to settle for a softie….
Congratulations Deb!! I look forward to reading your book soon!!
Well done Deb. It’s great. We’re most impressed. I’m glad we found the party. We’re looking forward to having a good read.
Thankyou all. I hope it’s useful and fun.
Julie I knew with all the pregnant ladies around I’d need to have the softdrinks, plus I’m a responsible party host, can’t have you driving home!
Great work Deb, looking forward to reading it
Well Done Deb
I showed my friend Kate and she thought it would be great with her two kids. She is going to share it around.
I saw the beer at the party and had to have one myself!
I’m proud of you.
Timbo
Thanks Tim. I hope it works for her and others. Virtual beer is the best sort, says she with a glass of sparkly.
Congratulations Deb. I am planning to try out some of these ideas with my guide groups. Thank you!

Hey Deb, Congrats – everything looks great. Look forward to exploring it further.Well Done! And I’ll have a red thanks…or a coffee and port?
Didn’t even think of those, I think a white port would go beautifully with the dessert.
This is a great resource Deb, as is the blog…thanks so much!
Congratulations Deb. I look forward to reading it.
I’m really looking forward to reading this over the weekend, and then an experiment or two with the kids
Thanks so much for all your hard work.
Fantastic! Hubby is the more scientific one in our relationship, but I don’t think he’s grasped that he could be playing science with DD already. Hopefully this will help!
Congratulations, Deb,
it is a fabulous resource. I have already been enjoying your tips and being inspired to notice science – angles to things we do. We had a hoot yesterday doing static balloons and seeing how many balloons we could get stuck to my sons hair – he was hysterical with laughter!
