Scientific American is a smart and interesting periodical in an era of dumbed down journalism and infotainment.

The articles are written to give basic facts on the subject, yet in-depth enough to encourage continued interest in the scientific issue presented.
Awesome connections to our science class conversations!

The photos are beautiful. We're in a 6th grade classroom, and many of the ideas are above our curriculum level, however, 1 magazing alone has sparked and supported many exciting conversations!
Scientific American is "Da Bomb!"

Cutting edge science and technology explained by experts in terms a scientifically savvy high school senior can understand. Topics usually include articles regarding ecology, biology, particle physics and cosmology. Basically what top scientists have done and are attempting to do without complex mathematical explanations.
 I would rate it higher but......

1. My rule would be: No article longer than 2 pages (EXcluding the necessary images and graphs) -- I wish some articles were shorter.
2. I can do totally without your "religion versus science" obsessions
3. If the subject is biology, biochemistry etc., I wish the function of enzymes (and similar) would be explained in "mechanical" (and electrical") terms. Greek names are meaningless to me. Even it this goes against the author's "learnedness"
4. I wish for more tutorials. (Example, the recent IEEE SPECTRUM article on "Tasers", and the heart muscle). In fact SPECTRUM to me is one notch "better" than Sci.Am. They explain 'simpler' and more, with less "philosophy". They also provide more "down to earth" discussion of the social and economic repercussions.
5. Your "self-touting" does not make me happy. Tell us everything about a NEW author. Your regular contributors' (such as Steve Minky's -- not that I dislike him) exploits do NOT interest me.
6. If only ONE reason why I read you: Your authors understand what they write. This, a lost art with so many young journalists, who --it seems-- have a digital recorder running and faithfully 'transcribe' every words which they did not understand.
Recently, I detect an element of this faible also in Sci. Am.
