Hi With respect to Skeptic, each issue includes a Junior Skeptic section at the end. The issue I am looking at now has short bios of great American skeptics (written largely by two Canadian brothers, of course): Ben Franklin, Houdini, Mark Twain, and Johnny Carson. The back cover states that there is a special area of the skeptic.com website now devoted to Junior Skeptic, and that they will be adding material for parents, students, teachers, and researchers. And that their first Junior Skeptic books have gone to press. There is also a Facebook page. Here's the link to Junior Skeptic site
http://www.skeptic.com/junior_skeptic/ So perhaps something to build on or at least include? Take care Jim James M.

Perhaps their websites would have ideas as well. Take care Jim James M.
