Sometimes it is hard to read Scholastic level scientific books.

I often read articles from science journals with gigantic words that I just don't understand.
Such is the case with complex scientific books. The layperson has no chance at fully comprehending the ones that are done on a scholastic level. Thank goodness for YouTube videos that keep it simple for the ordinary person.
I don't have time to go back to college and take a course in physics or trigonometry or any such thing. So, out of curiosity I will sometimes pick up a technical journal and try my best to decipher it.
If only there were more places online that were able to express general information about scientific subjects that the regular person can read and get some level of satisfaction from learning from it.
Such sites are few and far between. You can always go to college to get a lot of knowledge or go forth in the world wide web for sites that Google or Web Crawler can locate for U thanks to the good old Search Bots.
Where do you go online to find easy to read articles about science, geography, and all the other OLOGIES?
One such place is QUIRKY SCIENCE.
QuirkyScience, math, and non-science articles - all easily understood - for everyday people. Yet, there is a twist that makes this site different.

That's part of all areas of science. There's a reason we use big word, it makes it more accurate but it does require readers that is familiar with the terminology.
I use quite a lot of youtube videos when I teach physics, 'cause then the pupils can see them over and over again as many times as they need. Some'll get the point quickly and can move on, others will never get it.
Haven't heard about QuirkyScience before, so will check that out

Even though it is a site meant for people who are learning English I think it is worth taking a look at and reading articles in just plain and simple English.
