Arvind Gupta (who I'm not familiar with; a google search tells me he's a well known science educator in India.) put this great little collection of free books together. http://gyanpedia.in/tft/Resources/books_e.htm

There looks to be a nice science section and if you scroll almost all the way down there's an entire section of Isaac Asimov PDFs that would be a great resource for teaching kids.

Just because I chuckled when I saw it, I particularly wanted to point out this book called "How Babies are made" it's one I'm well familiar with and read it quite a bit as a kid. The pictures still crack me up. LOL I'm pretty sure it's out of print now. It's a decent book for teaching the subject of reproduction in a simple way, without a morality component, for small kids. I'm sure there are plenty of other books out there these days but this one does the job and has the advantage of being free. http://gyanpedia.in/tft/Resources/books/howbabiesaremade.pdf

You know who I mean.This seems to be the time of year when they come out of the woodwork. Here in Indiana, as the weather gets nice, the motorcyclists are out in full force. I hate the noise cycles make. Then there's the Indianapolis 500 fans, the majority of which are rednecks. Interview them or a typical Pacer fan (big news as they face the Miami…See More

"Happy Holidays is a good enough saying for anyone at Christmas time. I support the phrase "happy holidays" rather than the bullshit most Americans were taught. Let's go back in time to look at meanings here. "Holidays"…"
