From November, 2001, until April, 2003, I wrote a column calledScience Corner for the local newspaper (the Central Kentucky News-Journal) to use on it's Kid's Page. The link above will take you to those short articles and some others that didn't appear in the paper. All of these articles are written for elementary/junior high school students, but may appeal to anyone. They are all copyrighted, but educators can feel free to use them in the classroom if they will serve a useful purpose.
