Habitat Boxes: Bring a Bit of Nature into your Science Curriculum
Science comes alive when you bring a little bit of nature into the room. Luckily, even those who live in the city can often find nature all around them. How about placing a little of your ecosystem into a habitat box? It's something I've done. I taught for several years in the desert city of Tucson. My last year there my students gathered bits of the Sonora Desert ecosystem -- from palm fronds to pine cones to samples of sand and dirt. We used those bits of desert in our habitat study, then ...

In this lens I'd like to talk you about the Chemistry of daily life. Chemistry is an exciting experimental science which lets us to understand our world and makes our life easier. As you will read in the following a...
How to Celebrate Chemistry's Greatest Holiday: Mole Day
October 23 is Mole Day! It is the day we celebrate the mole. No, not mole the animal, and not mole the congenital growth; not mole the sauce, or even mole the spy. Mole Day celebrates the mole that is a SI unit measuring the quantity of a substance. And, scientists (who are known for letting loose and partying) have a great time on Mole Day. So let loose, you chemistry freaks, and have a day filled with pun.

Learn about chemistry and geology growing crystals.
Crystals are a fascinating natural phenomenon and you can with a little time and effort grow some at home. Great for teaching kids about chemistry and geology it's also fun, even for adults. Most of these methods require only commonly found household chemicals.
Science for the Springtime!
Learning and fun should go hand in hand! Children love to apply their learning to something they relate to, something enjoyable, something that will stick long after the lessons are done. Why not connect a holiday which comes every year to everyday learning objectives? Since I enjoy holidays, I like to create lesson plans related to them! These science suggestions are ones I thought would be exciting during March, near Saint Patrick's Day! They focus around rainbows, color, light, plants, sha...
Real Science 4 Kids Is A Complete Science Curriculum, with an illustrated text and a lab for each ch
Real Science 4 Kids is the science curriculum our homeschool co-op chose to use for our science program in 2009-2010. Each week, we read a chapter in the book at home, and then reviewed the chapter and completed a fun lab assignment that went along with it at our co-op class. The colorful texts are full of illustrations to aid in understanding! But what I loved best about the program were the exciting lab projects! There are different levels to the program. Pre-level 1 is for grades K to 4. ...
AndyPo's Easy Science and Maths Quiz
How much do you know about Science and Maths? Do you know Newton's laws of motion, or think you know what Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity is? Where is the Large Hadron Collider and what is it for? How do aeroplanes and helicopters fly and why do spinning balls swerve through the air? Find out how much you know here...
There is a Whole Word in just a Drop of Water
Explore microscopic life in a local pond, marsh, or stream. A cup of water can contain millions of microorganisms. Seeing tiny single celled organisms through a microscope really brings home to kids the concept of cells and the idea that there are living things too small to see with the naked eye.
Science: Studies that normally encompass courses based on a knowledge of facts, phenomena, laws, and proximate cause are designated Science (eg, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geography, Geology, Mathematics, Nutrition, and Physics).
