We are an eclectic but primarily online homeschooling family.
What’s an online homeschooling family? Well. I don’t
know that that’s an actual term, lol, but my explanation would be
that we are a homeschooling family that prefers online curricula and materials
over textbooks and workbooks.
Science education is one of those subjects where people like
to say “but wait, don't you need to get off the computer and get
more hands on to really learn science?” Sure! But that doesn’t
mean we can’t turn to the computer for guidance and direction.
My boys have found great websites teaching science
for kids, and they LOVE watching science experiment videos. Once
they watch them, they try and recreate them. Taking notes to what goes wrong or
right, and recording their observations and results.
So it’s the best of both worlds…computers
AND hands on experience!
