Just wanted to pass on: http://www.visiblebody.com/ DS is very (VERY) interested in human anatomy so I was looking for resources and found this. It is free (I was surprised actually). Web based and pretty thorough. Just requires an ActiveX control. Looks like we're about to loose power so I'm going to send this off before I loose my work! JB

It covers a topic he really likes (anatomy) and it's teaching him some finer motor skills with the mouse. On a similar note, Discovery has a new (at least to us!) series named Body in Numbers Could not ask for a more perfect match for our DS. DVR'ed it. It's not as deep as PBS shows, but it is very interesting. JB

Or for the amount of sweat that you make they'll show a certain number of buckets. Good way to really drive home the quantitative math and... of course... it's biology! our fav subject!! JB
