I just "sneaked" in a two minute science lesson with magnets and trains! The curriculum we use has a lengthy script and set of experiments to do but I could not hold my son's attention to it for too long. So I simply took advantage of his being around his train table and showed him how the trains can pull or push with the magnets that are on them to keep them connected. Boom, lesson over.

I also realize how much he already knows and has learned before we even get to a lesson. Science is easy at this level (K). Will it continue to be like that?
