I hope all of you enjoy your long weekend. Here are some science activities you could do with your kids-
Physical science- the students have been involved in writing children's books about different elements. Have them sit down and read their story to you. We had a great time reading them in class today. You can also ask them about radiation, and which common objects emit low levels of radiation.
Advanced Biology- we are starting a big unit on body systems. Go on a walk with you student and ask them to explain how bone and muscle work together to let us move! When we act out the motion as we explain it we learn better.
Earth Science- students learned how to be paleontologist by asking a series of questions about a rock. Have your student pick a rock from the yard and walk you through this process- you will be amazed to find out how much you learn about your rock!
Kitchen Biology- we just made bread from our very own sourdough starters this week. Try making another type of yeasted bread with your student, and compare the process and taste.
Biology- students are learning how to classify living things, and as part of that we went protist hunting with our microscope. What other small organisms can you look for on a walk in this area?
Chemistry- we have been learning about different types of reactions, and how to balance chemical equations. Try and brainstorm with your student all the different reactions that take place around you in the world. What elements or compounds are involved?
