This website has a broad vision to provide a variety of information, on-line activities, and discussion forums for children, teachers, parents, pre-service teachers, teacher educators, and educational researchers. Our basic emphasis is to promote teaching and learning through inquiry, problem-solving, and project-based approaches and to encourage meaningful, relevant, and complex learning. Of course, we also encourage creativity and critical thinking.

The New (and post-site-catastrophe) Exploring Science Site

• All articles have new URLs, check "Articles" in the Navigation panel at the upper left.


• Many new photos have been added to the Photo Gallery.


• All member information has been lost.


• Returning and New MEMBERS - Please register.


• Changes to MEMBERSHIP system. People can no longer register without approval from the site administrator.


• REGISTERING and MEMBERSHIP: If you register from a recognizable domain, you will be approved. If your domain isn't recognized you will have to follow the procedures below:


• To ADD MEMBERSHIP: (1) fill out information in upper right panel and (2) send note to site administrator with your full name, city, state, country, email, username, interest in the site, and job if involved in field related to the content of this site. Without this information, memberships will not be approved. This step is in reaction to people who have registered, then added pornographic and other distasteful material to Comments sections and Forums.


• Anyone who registers then breaks netiquette and/or adds abusive, pornographic, or other distasteful materials will be banned and reported to his or her internet provider.
