One of the hardest tasks a parent or educator has is taking a dry subject like math or science and making it fun. It’s easier to keep kids of all ages focused when they’re having fun, but overemphasis on entertainment value can sometimes take away from the actual learning that’s done.
These 25 products and innovations truly make learning science fun for people of all ages. Whether it’s PhD students creating an interpretive dance that outlines the points made in their thesis or cute plushies for kids, each of these articles below strikes the perfect balance between fun and learning.
