There is so much to know out there, and science can give us a lot of the answers! Who doesn't love science? And, it you don't now, this will make you a convert.
Who invented pizza? Can animals laugh? Why do we get the hiccups? What's the biggest excavator?So many questions! Check out mystery science lessons for answers to these questions as well as others in shorter mini-lessons and longer full length lessons. The free site offers kindergarten lessons, but don't let that scare you off if you have a younger child; these lessons can definitely be suitable for lots and lots of our age children. The longer lessons have a follow-up activity, too. I get the hiccups all the time so I really enjoyed the explanation and the great visual.
Help your child come up with a few questions of their own. Let them hypothesize an answer. Have them tell you where you might find the answers, then try to find out following their lead. If that doesn't work, use your brain and help them find the answers. It is all part of the learning process. Drawing a picture of something new you are learning is a great extension. I can't wait to hear about all the new knowledge our little students gain while we are apart. I know Professor Paige will be impressed, too!
