this flash website is great: crisp interactivity, easy & smooth navigation, and doesn't feel like a "flash" site at all.
maybe i'll get to buy some in germany! p.s. i'm going! hooray!

CONCEPT
the beauty of science is simplicity. and the chemical reaction that creates a battery is as simple as zinc + copper + acid.
experiments like making a lemon-powered clock need straightforward directions, but also much encourage kids to start thinking in terms of play instead of work. start thinking, start tinkering, and feel comfortable doing it in your own bedroom!
"there ain't no rules around here! we're trying to accomplish something!"

AUDIENCE PERSONAS
1.
Although Sam's grades in school aren't the highest, he is always tinkering around at home, taking apart old radios, collecting spare parts, and asking, "Why?" Online he has found many websites with fun games but he prefers to read Wikipedia, eHow, or work offline instead. He's a clever kid, mature for his age.
If he's looking for directions, he wants the most succinct instructions. It must be a tutorial he can follow along with himself, or remember vividly for later.
2.
Alix is in fifth grade and constantly online or in the library, chatting, exploring, and playing. She is a good student but more of a book-learner, a studier, a test-taker. She often has big plans for extravagant projects or experiments, but gets distracted by new plans or doesn't get the proper motivation to go through with them.
For the ones she does try, it usually takes quick, simple steps that offer immediate results. She sees many potential ideas, but a tutorial with attractive photos instead of illustrations has a better chance of sparking her imagination.
TO COMMUNICATE
empowerment
curiosity
excitement
investigation
TO SUGGEST
do-it-yourself
ease
craft
fun
lighthearted
play
