Science Project
I know, I've referred to this phenomenon before. But it just hit me right between the eyes.
My daughter, who learns in a chassidishe Bais Yakov type school with a respectable secular studies program (which is itself a subject for a posting when contrasted with the comparable boys institution) was assigned a science project, preferably experimental, along with the rest of the class.
Now all of us know how to get a science project in BP. You simply call up your local Nobel Prize Laureate, and ask him for his discarded experiments.
But seriously, there are only 5 ways to get this done: (Ideas are ordered by educational worth)
1. The school provides books with ideas, and preferably a lab and/or a resource person.
2. The children go to the public library for research.
3. The children go to Barnes and Noble or Borders and buy a book of science experiments.
4. The child goes on the internet.
5. The parent goes on the internet for him.
Number 1 is not provided.
Number 2 is prohibited.
Number 3 is prohibited.
Number 4 is prohibited.
Number 5 is prohibited.
Footnote: The children all produced science projects.

i don't understand your problem. the solution is option number one.
just call your uncle in philadelphia.
Who is "your uncle" in Philadelphia?
This seems, lulei demistafina, a classic case of "If a man's reach does not exceed his grasp, then what's a heaven for?"
Yes. We want to ban the internet entirely, yet we have to cut corners and get things done.
What concerns/confuses me is this: Are parents actually banned from the library? or buying (kosher) science books?
Also,
Much hatzlachah in your business endeavors.
My suggestion, lulei demistafina, is to pace your postings--say once a week. If you find yourself glutted with ideas, spread them out over time since your creative inspiration will go through fallow periods.
Many a blog has burned itself out after several months of serial postings.
Anon: Not everyone has a Noble Prize class uncle, either - eh?
Cloo: Parents aren't banned - but it won't help for shidduchim. Kosher science books are no prob - but where to get them?
Cloo: Appreciate the wishes, as well as the suggestions. Is 'over posting' why the several "shkutzim blogs have gone under lately?
Anon: Yes, thank you, offline.
There are shkutzim blogs??? Where? Where?
LOL
I just started my blog, so let's see how long I, lulei demistafina, last before I start dishing out advice.
If libraries are a problem for shidduchim perhaps you or I should start a books gemach.
Cloo:
Not a bad idea.
I won't give you the names, but they're two links away from mine.
Hatzlocho Reb Leapa. My solution, which I've done several times over the last few years. (GASP) I go to AOL for Kids and get science info including experiments.
