Great Science Links

Posted in School Room

This year for science we have been using the Simply Charlotte Mason 106 Days of Creation Studies ~ A family study handbook.   It's been a great guide for covering the six days of creation throughout the school year. It's not heavy on detail, but provides an outline to follow, a biblical start, and gives many suggestions for reading, activities, and fieldtrips. We've really liked it. They also recommended using Considering God's Creation alongside for added depth. It has been a great resource for not only more information, but also reproducible worksheets with diagrams, games, drawing pages, etc. I've actually used both with all four kids (2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th).

 

Since we started the Human Body this week, I've been searching for some multi-media additions to spice it up a bit and I wanted to share some great websites and links that have been helpful additions...

  • BrainPOP - This site is awesome! It has a library of short, animated videos that cover science, social studies, language arts and more. Each clip comes with a quiz and teacher resources. The nice thing is you can test it out for a week for free. Family membership is $99 per year, or $9.95 per month.
  • KidsHealth - Tons of great information including a library of short articles for kids starting about middle school age on "Growing Up"....puberty, body changes, emotional changes, frequently asked questions....that kind of thing. They also have a section on "How the Body Works" with animated video clips (limited library), printables, and teacher/parent resources.
  • Inside the Cell - This is just an amazing look inside the cell. The kids were so excited about learning about the cell after they saw it. =]
  • BBC Human Body and Mind - Great for the older ones. This site has games and quizes to test their knowledge of how the body works.....games and quizes on the skeleton, organs, systems, senses, the mind, and more.

Those are awesome links. I was just thinking the other day that I needed to start a human body study with my younger two...
Oh, and I have to say that I always totally resisted American Idol until this year. The night it was coming on I said, "Let's just see what this is all about" and we were all totally hooked. The kids are crazy about it! So, it's sort of like good old fashioned family TV watching. Did I just say that?
