Thrifty Science (Good Read 9)

This article doesn't relate exclusively to science, but since I have a natural love of thrift store shopping, it caught my eye. The author says that for just a few bucks at thrift stores, she was able to purchase measuring spoons and cups, cylinders and tubbing, magnets, seashells, rubber snakes and reptiles, garden tools, and binoculars, all which could be used by the children at school to enhance their experience with the sciences. The items were new and exciting when she brought them in, they were able to be applied to the science lessons she was teaching about wildlife and the outdoors, and they only cost a couple of bucks at thrift stores.
