Welcome to our series sharing Homeschool Resources: Science & Artistic and Educational Photographs. I would like to ask you to check out these Homeschool Resources and let me know if you’ve used them with your students. Charlie can’t wait to check out The Magic School Bus Science Club while watching YouTube Videos featuring The Magic School Bus. Would you like to join us?
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.
NOAA Photo Library– All grades, with parental supervision
Incredible photographs! The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association offers this amazing collection of artistic and educational photographs that you won’t want to miss.
When you get to the site, click on the word “collections” near the top of the page. You will see that NOAA has divided their photo library into albums and catalogs based on topic. As you browse through the menu, you will see collections that include:
- Flying with NOAA – fly with pilots through the clouds
- NOAA’s Ark – all kinds of animal photos
- Sanctuaries – marine sanctuary images
- Voyage to Inner Space – undersea research
- National Severe Storms Laboratory – including hail, lightning, and tornadoes
- And much, much more!
Click on any category and a new page opens containing a short introduction. You can click on any thumbnail for a larger picture.
While this site stands on its own as a representation of artistic expression through photography, be prepared for it to pique your family’s interest in any given topic. It’s a great way to introduce a subject you may want to study – or to enhance your current studies. It’s also just a visually pleasing experience to look through these amazing photo albums.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
