Someone posted this question on the Trivium e-loop. So I thought of posting it here, with an example of how you can use the Trivium in the Life Sciences. Namely, Human Anatomy.   >How do you see science fitting in your recommended schedule for grammar age students? I have 2 -- 5 year olds and 2 -- 6 year olds that we are teaching.  >I feel like there is little science, exposure for them. Do you have any ideas or thoughts on this subject?   Try : Read to them from the scriptures how they are wonderfully and fearfully made.   They could color with crayons human anatomy coloring books like the Kapit/ Elson Series.   They could make a heart from modeling clay. To do this look at a medical illustrated dictionary and have your children paint the blood supply in red showing the oxygenated blood, and blue for the de-oxygenated blood.   They could play with: Anatomy Apron, where they explore their organs through Velcro.     Young children learn through listening, coloring, making projects, exploration through play, and many other ways.   With children so young, science isn't really the most important subject to cover in their formative years, however if you feel it's important, than it is. You could start them out with simple things like: Skeletal System applied to the Trivium.    We’ll be sending tip sheets: Skeletal System applied to the Trivium, out to subscribers.   Maribel Hernandez www.APMFormulators.com Studying subjects at home with your children is nothing new to homeschool parents.
