Science Explorers at the Science Fair

Congratulations, Science Explorers!

We know from all the emails we received, that the Science Explorers from Episode 26 (Wolves) were a big hit with kids. So, we thought you'd like to know that Julianna, Lucy, and Aaron recently participated in their very FIRST Science Fair.

Julianna and Lucy worked together to both explain and demonstrate how lightning works. Aaron showed the results of plant mutations he created with irradiated seeds. There were no prizes, grades, or extra credit... it was completely voluntary. Kids were motivated simply by their love of learning and a desire to share that knowledge with others. And their presentations were excellent!

We are very proud of our Science Explorers and can't wait to see what they'll do for next year's Science Fair!

If you'd like to hear Julianna and Lucy again, give Episode 26 another listen. You'll love it!

Pterosaur Trouble!

Are you ready for the next book in Daniel Loxton's Tales of Prehistoric Life series? Well, you're in luck because Pterosaur Trouble is now available!

We pre-ordered ours the moment it became available. Aaron has read it several times both for the wonderful little story and to stare at the gorgeous artwork. Impossible as it may sound, I think the artwork is even better than the first book.

If you or the kids in your life enjoy a little bit of dino-fiction along with your science... then this is the book for you! We intend to collect each and every book in the series.

If you'd like to hear Aaron's review of the first book in the series, Ankylosaur Attack, then be sure to give Bonus Episode 2 a listen.

We highly recommend all of Daniel Loxton's science books for kids...

* Pterosaur Trouble
* Ankylosaur Attack
* Evolution: How We and all Living Things Came to Be

And if your kids are capable young readers, be sure to check out Daniel's excellent work on Junior Skeptic inside each issue of Skeptic Magazine.

Thanks, Daniel. We LOVE the book and can't wait for the next!

Our 3 Year Anniversary!

The Aaron's World podcast launched 3 years ago today! We've had a lot of fun... and there's much more to come!

To celebrate our Podcast Anniversary, we'd like to introduce you to our newest cast member... Delaney! She's the new INO User in Season 3 and makes her podcasting debut in Episode 33. We can't wait for you to meet her!

Aaron and Delaney have quite a few adventures ahead of them as they explore the Paleozoic aboard the Polaris. It's going to be a fun season filled with new friends, exciting locations, and a finale that will take them to the deepest and darkest place on our planet.

Remember to send us your audio questions if you'd like to hear yourself in one of our episodes. We'd love to include you!

Oh, and if you'd like to get a glimpse of Aaron's "real life" adventures, you or your parents are welcome to follow me (Aaron's Dad) on Google Plus, Instagram, or Twitter. I keep my posts family-friendly and often share behind-the-scenes pics and info.

We'll have episode 33 out by the end of the month! Thanks for listening!!!

It's hard to believe we started our podcast when Aaron was only 6 years old. Today, he turns 9!

Happy Birthday, Aaron!

As a birthday treat for all of you patiently waiting for Season 3... check out the little "preview" image. It's a collection of artwork we use to help us visualize our episodes. The images belong to talented artists whose work we love!

You'll also notice that we've updated our podcast feed with a message from Aaron (and me). Be sure to download it and listen. We switched hosts recently so downloading the update will update your podcast feed as well. If you have any problems, just resubscribe and you should be fine.

You'll see some "extra" content coming soon!
