Life's little moments

• Mar. 5, 2007 - STATIC ELECTRICITY

We spent the day a while back learning about electricity. We did sone experiments with static electricity and the kids loved it. They all came away so much more aware of electricity and all that it does. They got a grasp on magnets and everything all in one day. I know that we will need to reinforce what they learned, but the experiments really helped them to "see" how it works.

We used Amandas static to bend water, move cereal, and turn on a light bulb. Then the kids went around finding other ways to experience static electricity. A real success.

I want to do that experiment. I know my son would love to use static to bend water, well, I want to see that one. I am using apologia science for botany right now. We are making a green house out of boxes and light bulbs. Enjoying science right since it is so sunny here in oklahoma lately.

I think those hands on moments are the BEST way to teach our kids. Making the time for them isnt always easy for me, but I know that they have a memory to hang their learning on, when I do. The pics motivate me too.
