Did you know that the smallpox vaccine comes from horses? Or that actress Hedy Lamarr helped to better the invention of radar using her knowledge of music? These are just a few of the interesting facts supplied by ScienceIQ.com's "Fact of the Day." Every day,ScienceIQ.com delivers an interesting science fact to your e-mail. Subjects range in everything from nanotechnology to black holes to the human mind, and everything in between. More geared to the middle and high schooler, ScienceIQ.com supplies an interesting "jumping off point" for parents and children. They give you enough information to get you interested, and also supply a reading suggestion and web links to further your learning on each particular subject. It's a fun way to get in a little extra science everyday.
This service would make a fabulous gift for any child or adult who has a thing for science. But it would also make a nice gift for someone who doesn't really care for it. They're short, fun, very informative, and well written. So even "science haters" will find them interesting. Christian homeschoolers may want to know that they are written from a secular point of view, but it's not overbearing by any means. Overall, ScienceIQ.com's Fact of the Day is a great tool.
ScienceIQ.com offers you two options. You can get the fact of the day for $9.95 for two months or $19.95 for six months. You may prefer the one-year option for $29.95. They also offer a free two-week trial.

All with no advertising, or popup ads. So take a bite sized chunk a day of a very big pie. With ScienceIQ.com, a little goes a very, very long way.
