Mateo y Cientina
http://www.mateoycientina.org/
The cartoon kids, Mateo y Cientina, present thirty experiments
and activities for kids 7-10 and their families. The site
includes resources and ideas for families and teachers.
The activities are intended to:
- help adults and children alike to overcome their fear of
math and science;
- encourage families to spend time on subjects important to
academic achievement;
- introduce families to local resources that support the
project's mission.
Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley teamed with New
America Media, a network of ethnic media, and with the
Children's Museum of Houston and the Miami Science Museum,
with funding from the National Institute of Science, to
develop this project.
