La Dolce Vita
• Thursday, October 19, 2006 - The Science Class
I am defective when it comes to teaching science. History, math, reading, writing...I can manage those subjects well. Even Latin and Spanish are moving along in our little school. Science has always been the first subject to drop off the radar in a busy week. But, no more! I have found another "science defective" friend and we are collaborating! We have done science together for five weeks, and the kids are in heaven. I look forward to Wednesdays. My friend and I visit, the kids run around and play for a while, and then we settle into science. We take turns teaching. We are studying the oceans using My World Science. We have learned about the sandy shore, the rocky beach, and tidepools. Coral reefs are coming up.
As a grand finale to our ocean study, we are going on an overnight field trip to a wonderful place...Monterey Bay Aquarium. If you or your children have an interest in the ocean, I highly recommend this wonderful place. If you live too far for a physical visit, try a virtual one. The aquarium has a great website, with many interactive activities and webcams on many of the exhibits. We have found some great resources on this site to complement our study.
