My son got pretty excited about these very simple projects after we somehow got onto a string of youtube videos about 'hacking' toy cars. For example: How to Make a Solar Powered Toy Car at Home - YouTube https://www.yo

I haven't read Behave by Robert Sapolsky, but I did read 'A Primate's Memoir' a while back and it was fantastic. A memoir of his time in Africa studying baboons, well written and entertaining. One of those books that I

I keep it in a personal wiki that lives in dropbox. I use this one (tiddlywiki.com), but anything with tagging and search would work. I appreciate the organization by time, tag, or list, and also the latex and markup support, but these are

The canyon is certainly an 'ancient' feature - just the underwater extension of geographic features on land. The river (on land) at the base of the canyon carries sediments into the ocean. These get deposited somewhat haphazardly,

Maybe start with something very small and hopefully simple, like a zooplankton, and figure out how that works, then work your way up ... anyway, good luck.
