I was looking through my Bloglines and came across a link in Seb Paquet’s del.icio.us bookmarks. It was a link to the Howtoons site. I haven’t had a great deal of time to check it out, but it looks pretty cool. From the main page:

Howtoons are one-page cartoons showing 5-to-15 year-old kids “How To” build things. Each illustrated episode is a stand-alone fun adventure accessible to all, including the pre-literate. Our Howtoons are designed to encourage children to be active participants in discovering the world through Play-that-Matters — fun, creative, and inventive — and to rely a lot less on mass-consumable entertainment.

I think this would be great to get students to do some independent investigative work in the sciences. I can see some of my students using this site.
