I am very excited to announce that we have just launched the official KidQuest Science Adventures YouTube channel! I’m especially excited to announce that I’ll be posting my original videos from the field called KidQuest Science Moments. As my family and I explore the world around us I’ll be capturing science moments (from biology to geology) as I see them and share them with you.
