The Wildebeest Tail

Promoting Science Literacy

The Wildebeest Tail is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting literacy in science. As part of our mission, we provide free copies of the American Heritage Student Science Dictionary to classrooms and students. The dictionary is filled with science and math terms, the definitions are clearly written, and it is fun to read.

If you know of an individual or school that would like their own copy of this book, please have them write to us at:
