We follow a four year cycle for science. This year our studies will focus on physics.
Several years ago James and I purchased six Scienceology kits: electricity, magnetism, flight, land vehicles, lights/colors/optics, and radios/phones/telecommunications. I am finally going to make good use of them. There are around 20 different experiments within each kit, as well as an instruction manual. I think they will make a nice intro into physics.
Today we started our study using the Magnetism kit. The girls wrote definitions and complete two experiments. They made a 'metal detector' and tested various materials to determine whether or not they were magnetic. Then we learned about induced magnetism. Lulu and Monkey had a lot of fun making their magnetic sculptures.
Welcome to our blog! I hope you enjoy your visit. We are a homeschooling family of 5. Our approach is eclectic, but leaning more and more towards Charlotte Mason. Our girls are 9, 7, and 4. Never a dull moment as we desire to teach our girls in the ways of the Lord.
