I came across a link to Bitesize from BBC Schools today (thanks, Secular Homeschool and Free Technology for Teachers). Looks like there are fun educational activities for elementary through junior high here. Example of a science activity I would expect Jane would enjoy below.

Snapshots from September - Museum of Life and Science, Durham
Our journey to North Carolina in September included our third trip to Durham's Museum of Life and Science. If you are ever in the Triangle area, we highly recommend a visit! We arrived just after lunchtime, and, since the main building was fairly crowded with school groups, headed right outdoors to the Explore the Wild and Catch the Wind exhibits.
In addition to these two trails, the youngest of member of the family much enjoyed the dinosaur walk and train ride. Indoor options include an insect room and butterfly pavilion in an auxiliary building, and weather, gem & fossil, space, germ, and a whole host of other science activities in the main building.
