Welcome to our series sharing Homeschool Resources: Science. Take a look at the resources being share this morning and let me know if you’ve used them or not.
I always wanted to sign Charlie up for The Magic School Bus Science Club because Charlie used to watch the Show on TV. But I never followed through but I might now because Charlie could share this club with not only my grandson but my niece and nephew as well.
The Magic School Bus Science Club
Ms. Frizzle and her students will take children for a magical ride every month when they receive their award-winning Science Kit in the mail. Developed by a team of Harvard Scientists, the Magic School Bus Science Club lets young Scientists Experiment in a fun and hands-on manner.
Tim Hunkin: Hunkin’s Experiments
All grades; with parental supervision
This archived website has hundreds of cool Cartoons that will have you conducting Science Experiments with food, light, sound, clothes, and a whole lot more!
The creator, Tim Hunkin, trained as an Engineer, became a Cartoonist and Television Writer, and now builds Interactive Exhibits for Museums.
When you get to the site, you’ll see a menu of Experiments grouped under headings such as:
- Food
- Mathematical
- Biological
- Electrical
- Sound
- Hobbies
- Clothes
- Light
- and more!
Click on any topic and a new page opens with a menu of Experiments in that category. Click on an Experiment to see a Cartoon Illustration with directions on how to conduct it. This is so whimsical and user-friendly, it’s sure to entice even the most reluctant Scientist in your family.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
