As a parent of a preschooler can attest, children are naturally curious. From a very early age, they want answers to some of life's biggest mysteries. Why is the sky blue? How do airplanes fly? What makes trees grow? Keeping up with these energetic questions isn't always easy. In fact, sometimes you may not even know the answers. But asking these questions is a natural part of being a kid, and searching for answers together can be the key to fostering a lifelong interest in science. It can also be fun!

That's where Simply Science comes in.
