My girls and I visited Disneyland yesterday. Despite the fact that it’s the beginning of June, the park was not too crowded, and we went opn all of the ride we love. My daughters have finally become daring enough that they now enjoy roller coasters. And since my ten-year-old has recently developed an interest in [...]
It’s hard not to be paranoid about pandemics… especially when you watch the news. Due to the recent medical emergencies,schools in Mexico have been closing, all in an effort to minimize the spread of the “Swine Virus.” Depending on what happens next, we might see a lot of public schools shut their doors throughout the [...]
The Magic School Bus books were first published in 1986. By that time I was a teen-ager with my first summer job and my first unrequited crush on a girl. I wouldn’t notice the eccentric teacher Ms. Frizzle until PBS began airing a cartoon version of it in the 90s. Even then, it wasn’t something [...]
Yesterday, the girls built their very first snow fort. Then they pelted me with snowballs. Kids can be so cruel. But they can also be curious. We been wondering about the beautiful snowflake patterns that can observed with a microscope. I never get tired of looking at these highly magnified images of winter: Isn’t [...]
A few blog posts ago, I was discussing the pros and cons of that electronic friend (or dreaded living room fiend depending on who you ask), the television set. Well, today was a terrific example of when to watch TV, NASA TV to be specific. This afternoon the Space Shuttle Endeavor rocketed into the sky [...]
Are you familiar with this series? David Macaulay is the author and illustrator of “The Way Things Work,” a popular text among kids and adults. In the original book, Macaulay explains the inner workings of hydraulic dams, trains, engines, pulleys, and just about anything mechanical. In his latest intellectual adventure, “The Way We Work,” [...]
Vermicomposting is just a way of saying growing worms in compost. I know, icky! But this is a great science project on several levels. First it is great because you have to create a habitat. Studying about habitat and how things work together to keep the habitat alive and growing is the basis of [...]
The internet is so cool. You can get information about just about anything. And I, if you are not all ready aware of it, am an information junkie. So, when the editor of the scitech journal left a comment on my last post I was interested. Like a fish checking out a worm on a [...]
I love watching Kyrie learn about the world. She is four, and my youngest child. I think she may be the last since I am nearly 48 but you never know…She is learning to count with fruit loops, and stringing them in order of color..she is learning to stay away from the rooster..she is learning [...]
I think, all in all, that science is one of the easiest things to teach. It is all around us, everywhere, in everything we do. Making vinegar is a cool science project, and you can even incorporate it into your history curriculum. Homemade herbal vinegars make nice Christmas gifts, although you will have to [...] |
