I just recently signed up for this and boy am I excited, so I just had to pass it along to you. It's FREE! So sign up today! When you do sign up, you get a free science activity guide filled with experiments and a link to join in on a free live video class!

Welcome First, let me tell you that I'm so glad to be able to share the science experiments and projects in these newsletters with you. And most importantly, I'm really glad that you believe science is an essential part of education for your child. I'd like to make a commitment to you that I can show you how to make science totally engaging and fun for your kids. About once a week I'll send you an experiment that is kid-proven to breed curiosity, excitement and learning. You see, science isn't just a subject in school – at least it doesn't need to be. Recently a man came up to me and thanked me profusely. To be honest, I didn't recognize him. Then he explained that about six years ago, I had taught a science workshop that his son participated in. His son was doing very poorly in all his subjects at the time (I think he was in 6th grade). He continued to tell me that after the workshop, his son had developed a fascination with science (airplanes in particular). His grades in school got better, and in science, he was getting A's and B's. Then the man straightened up and smiled. He said “My boy just started college in Aeronautical Engineering!” It turns out, six years ago he was looking ahead and worrying that his son might not even finish high school. Like I said, science can be so much more than just a subject to teach your kids. So what was it that inspired this kid so much during a few hours that it changed his life? I'm about to tell you, but first you should know that just the knowledge itself doesn't do anything. You have to implement it for it to matter. And that is what these newsletters will show you how to do. So what's the secret? I'm sure you already know it, but here's my version. If we want kids to learn a subject – any subject – we usually provide them with the information we want them to learn and get them to practice it a bunch of times. But I do it differently. First, I get kids interested and excited about the subject. In fact, I don't even care if they learn a single academic fact to start with. Because what I've found over years of teaching is that if kids are excited about the application of a topic, they will want to learn the theory behind it . In fact, they'll learn it without even realizing what they're doing – it just becomes a part of the fun. That's it. Okay, so there is a bit more that goes along with this (and I'll make it a part of future newsletters), but this is the foundation. Make it fun and engaging first. If kids like what they are doing, they will want to learn the academics. Thanks for joining me on this wonderful journey of discovery. I look forward to sharing more fun, excitement and learning with you in our next issue. Warmly, Aurora   P.S. Years ago, a very special teacher and mentor changed my life. He inspired me with a passion for discovery and learning through exploring the world around myself. Now I get to share this with you and your children - a chance to pass on the gift that was once bestowed upon me.
