10 Ways to Expose Your Kids to Science by
Elgarmummy
- 3. Watch TV programs – Competitions
Apart from cartoons, there are game shows involving children or teenagers.
One that I have watched with my children is Lab Rat. They conduct
interesting and wacky experiments and hold competitions to challenge the
students. Sometimes the students are given challenges to explain concepts.
These are more suitable for older children who could benefit.
4. Watch TV programs – Documentaries
National Geographic and Discovery channels...

The Science of Who Gifted People Will Be When We “Grow Up” by
Kathleen Casper in One World
Gifted
- Regardless of the answers to any of those hypothetical questions, it
seems reasonable that we can look at certain things to see what areas of
study someone may succeed in, or what kinds of work might be interesting or
satisfying to certain people. So there is some science to career choice and
interpreting the path of one's potential. And it seems much easier to look
backwards at possibly connected events in order to try to see how certain
things impacted the way things turned out...

Superb Books for Young Scientists by Caitlin Fitzpatrick Curley,
My Little Poppies
- Our family's favorite science and nature books
Carefully selected, high-quality read alouds are the spine of our
homeschooling. By sharing great books with my children, I am able to cover a
variety of subjects. We love to read science and nature books. Here are some
of our family's favorites...

Summer of STEAM by
Adventures of Hahn
Academy
- You do not have to have a kit to create STEAM experiences. In fact, the
best STEM/STEAM kits are the ones that are open-ended or one that is easy to
add-on. Sometimes it takes a little creativity to “hack” a kit or mix kits
to expand on the experience. Our son is notorious for hacking almost every
single kit or gift he receives. In addition, you can combine any science kit
with books and additional materials to go more in depth. Remember...

The Science of Summer by
Gift-Ed Connections
- In my heart, I am still a farm kid. As a result, science in the summer is
as much about family traditions as it is about learning and knowing the
important science behind feeding your family. Much of my early scientific
learning didn't feel like science at all, it was about daily life-like
eating and getting your chores done. There was a lot of "science" that
happened in the summer without conscious intention that has become part of
my family's summer learning (fun)...

Lego
Robotics by Linda Wallin,
Living with Geniuses
- I have been teaching Lego robotics in the summer for almost a decade now
and I never tire of teaching it. The new students start by learning the name
of the parts and what they do, as well as a simple program using the
computer-graphical interface. They quickly advance to programs with loops,
sensors and parallel processing. My classes this summer included students
who went ahead on the first day because of previous knowledge. They used the
sensors, which give input to the main brick, or "brain," to make decisions
in the program. To keep them challenged after that, I also threw out daily
challenges...

 Women, success, and harnessing inherent strengths by
The Grayson School
- Student directed, project-based learning activities stress hands-on
learning and immersion in the discovery of new information. Because we know
that gifted students learn best through actively gathering the information
necessary for problem-solving and then articulating what they have
discovered through various media like a journal, artwork, or video, I
created a unit about space travel by planning “A Mission to Mars” for our
students.
My goal was simple...

Tips for Raising Science Loving Kids by
Planet Smarty Pants
- My daughter is turning 10 this fall. Ever since she was in preschool, she
wanted to be an engineer or a scientist - currently she is divided between
neuroscience and astronomy. I love her enthusiasm about all things science
and want to share a few tips on guiding little scientists from the cradle
all the way through elementary school...
