Thanks for your feedback, Martha. You’re right, we definitely don’t explain things in a way that would work for any age group. When we started this site we aimed for explanations that would work for our Principal Investigator, Celeste, and back then she was four years old. Today she’s almost 12! Maybe soon she’ll be able to post her own writings to the site.

I appreciate the way you explain things to little kids. I think it is very important we come to the children’s level. Of course you do not approach the same topic in the same way for different grades. The parts of a cell are not taught the same way for a 4th grader, a 6th grader, or an 8th grader.

Thank you!
