This morning I am back with a new Science Homeschool Resources for everyone. As Science isn’t my forte so if I can find places that will help me teach the class while capturing Charlie’s attention you can bet your bottom dollar I will be checking into it. So this morning I would like to invite you to check out our newest Homeschool Resource SciStarter.
Age Range: 6 and up (Grade 1 and up; children with parental supervision)
This website provides an archive of “Citizen Scientist” projects that you and your kids can do at home to help researchers gather information on bees, birds, crickets, storms, solar energy, microbiomes, and much, much more.
You’ll learn all about science as you take part in both informal recreational activities and formal research efforts that make science fun and straightforward for the whole family.
At the top of the site, you’ll see that April 14, 2018, is Citizen Science Day! See if there are any events near you.
Or scroll down to see the featured projects. You can also “Find a Project” by location and topic. Select a subject of interest such as animals, astronomy space, birds, chemistry, climate & weather, food, health & medicine, insects & pollinators, nature & outdoors, physics, etc. Click on any item on the drop-down menu, and a new page opens with a list of projects currently available in that category. You can do an advanced search from the next screen that allows you to filter for:
Projects you can do online, outdoors, indoors.
Projects suitable for different age groups.
And you can even filter for projects that have classroom materials available.
From the home page, you can also sign up to receive their free “newsletter” that delivers information about awesome projects to your email inbox.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
