Our institute has developed very successful curriculum materials that capitalize on children's natural curiosity about E.T. to introduce them to basic concepts in astronomy, biology, and geology. It is no great surprise to find that kids are interested in science when it is presented as exciting discovery. After all, even Albert Einstein noted that in research, imagination is more important than knowledge. But imagination alone should not be sold as science, especially when the science is every bit as interesting as the fantasy. Slimy critters intent on human abduction are no more than ciphers for the real civilizations that might be scattered among the half-trillion stars of our galaxy.
Kids love fantasy, but in matters of discovery nothing rivals the power of fact.
