Physics<BR>><BR>> See also Roy Doty, Wordless Workshop, which is about

there is a theory that science, technology, and mathematics are<BR>pretty much
the same thing for the younger kids (just something to<BR>play with) but later
these concepts are differenciated as kids mature,<BR>making stuff based on
physics could be an effective learning step.<BR><BR> So, "Howtoons" <A

another set of<BR>interesting cartoons for making stuff.<BR><BR>--
