www.badastronomy.com - This is a fun site, whose goal is to demonstrate that reality is often more interesting than fantasy.  Often, media (and movie) depictions of science and astronomy are filled with misconceptions and only serve to perpetuate common myths.  This "bad science" can fall into three categories: silly, sloppy and malicious.  The author of this website is a scientist who is also a science fiction fan (my kind of guy!) whose website debunks many myths, scientifically analyses supposed science "hoaxes" and deconstructs many Hollywood science fiction movies.

http://www.perpetualpreschool.com/ - Preschool teachers will love this site. Be sure to check out the "Science" section under   "Learning Center Ideas".

http://www.cityfarmer.org - Urban Agriculture Notes - Based in Vancouver, BC - Excellent website includes information on composting, red wriggler worms, Canadian/U.S./Worldwide vermiculture equipment and worm suppliers, compost and vermiculture references.  The most useful section for those looking for an actual source of red wriggler worms for vermicomposting is in section 4, titled "Use quick links for Vancouver residents" (even though it has references for worm contacts around the world), click on "Worm Suppliers".  The direct link to the "Worm Suppliers" page is here:          http://cityfarmer.org/wormsupl79.html#wormsupplies
