Know Your Audience!

When writing programs to fit SOL's, it's always good to be reminded who the audience is and why it's so much fun doing this. My sister shared this with me and I'm passing it along to you.

IF you need a good laugh, try reading through these children's science exam answers. You will soon understand why the concrete, hands-on experience is so vital for young children's understanding of their world.
