Critical Thinking--Science--Math--Combined
It is hard to separate these topics, since one is often a vehicle for another. For those items that I consider important to both science and math, I include them here. Watch for a few reading topics here, too.
New freebies from Google are the Google Gadgets. These include several puzzles and other items that will foster critical thinking. Look for them through-out and especially on these pages.

| Entry Page/ Page Category | Described |
| Storefronts | Lists all pages that sell products. Stores are separated according to whether products originated with Valerie and in-house artists or with merchants in affiliate networks. Please read the information in the Privacy file to see how cookies are used. |
| Describes the items produced by Valerie and in-house artists from different perspectives. The Home Page also describes the other page categories of the site. | |
| Shopping Cart | Buy items produced by Valerie and in-house artists using PayPal, which now accepts credit cards and does not require the purchaser to have a PayPal account. |
| Essays and Lessons | There are essays and lessons just about everywhere in this site. This page lists and links to them all. |
| Student Pages | Lists of links to pages rich in science information (I am a science teacher.) categorized by types and topics. Of course, the entire site is suitable for youth; it is just that these pages were designed especially for student use. |
| Booklists 1 , 2 | List 1 lists books too difficult, or of no interest to youth, or a bit too adult (Like Tom Clancey's Jack Ryan series with its violence and occasional obscenity), or not science fiction (Like Little Women). List 2 begins a list of science fiction books suitable for youth and screened by at least one teacher. This list is more complete at the Science Fiction Book Store because I got tired of typing. I will complete it one day--or delete the page. |

Our major item produced by Valerie and in-house artists presented in various ways. Look for our use of these images as backgrounds and ads throughout the site. These are not our only items, just the most easily imaged. |
| Freebies | A list of sites that offer free downloads and on-line services of interest to teachers, parents, students, and homeschoolers--and others, but... |
| Forum | Yep, I want input, interaction, and items to list in the freebies, students, and lessons pages. Please make comments in the messages sent through the forum or email that let me know you are not a spammer. The forum posts are moderated. Spam is seldom read. |
From these entry pages you should be able to reach every page in this site and some of the supporting pages at the Dirt Poor Book Shop. Enjoy your explorations of the site! |
