Paige Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 What magazine would you recommend for a science obsessed boy? My DS is 10 and very interested in inventions and science. I think he would prefer a magazine not oriented to kids but I'm open to considering it. I'm not sure if the adult ones would contain inappropriate material or would be too hard for him. He can read well enough, but I'm concerned about him keeping up with jargon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 We have strongly considered Muse Magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyw Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 We get several - Odyssey by Cobblestone (just got our first of this, so can't yet comment on it), Dig (archaeology), Muse, and Kids Discover. My daughter seems to really like all of them. She is nearly 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodland Mist Academy Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Add us to the list of the Cobblestone publishing readers. My daughter chooses a few magazines each year depending on her current interests. They make great gifts for birthdays etc. You could also let him go to the library or bookstore and browse the adult science magazines and see if any look good to him.

Miselainia Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 My son has really liked Popular Science and for a more engineering slant he likes Make. He didn't like Popular Mechanics as well as the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloggermom Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 For a 10-15 year old I would recommend - Yes Mag : the Science Magazine for Adventurous Minds For a 6-9 year old I would go with - Know : the Science Magazine for Curious Kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
