100 Days of Science #8-- Un Make It! Monday

-
We had a broken VCR/DVD player that we knew we could not fix so I offered to let the boys completely dismantle it and the accompanying remote that came with it.

They had the best time taking everything apart, inspecting all the little pieces and figuring out HOW it must have worked.

The DVD player 







My husband often dismantles things to fix it and we try to include the boys as often as possible.  It's a great way to learn how things work together and what the various parts do.


Others in this series:

1.  Bernoulli's Principle
2.  Field Trip to the Ecotarium 
3.  Learning About Air Molecules

Unschooling Ideas for all subjects

-
Image
The boys all piled into my bed for some snuggling and cuddling.  We talked and just enjoyed hanging out with one another for quite a bit.  Once they all started tickling one another, feet were flying and wrestling ensued I decided to sneak out and spend some time on the computer coming up with a plan of activities.



It seems our weeks go best when I have activity ideas already in my mind when the week begins. 

 If we don't get around to them it's not a big deal, but it seems to work best if I have suggestions for some fun learning games and projects.

Typically I only plan enough activities to last us until lunch and then they're on their own for actual unschooling.

I don't force anyone to participate in any lesson or activity;  I suggest things to do that I hope they'll be interested in.

Lately, I've made the mistake of not having ideas at the ready and it seems like we're all floundering for things to do.  I started out trying to make a list of 5 activitie…

45 Hands on Projects & Ideas for High School Students

-
Image
I am always looking for ways to engage my boys in learning.  My oldest son doesn't really like to read so I have been looking for way to incorporate hands- on projects that might interest him instead of just reading books about various subjects.

Here are some of the ideas (broken into core subjects) that I've come up with so far for some hands on learning that I think would be great for him.  We've even tried a few of them with pretty great results!




Science:

1. Make a model of the solar system or the layers of the earth.



2. Put together an electronic kit

3. Extract a strand of DNA from a strawberry or an onion

4. Dissect a fish, frog, worm, clam, cat, etc.

5. Build a vegetable garden or plant a few vegetables to take care of in pots

6. Build a model plant or animal cell using household items or food



7. Put together microscope slides and draw what you see

8. Grab a camera and go on a photographic nature or architecture hunt

9. Use gumdrops or marshmallows and toothpicks to…

You Might Be a Homeschooling Mom If...

You might be a homeschooling mom if.....


You have more books at home than places to put them all and yet you still check out books by the bagful from your local library; after all you can never have too many books. You live in your yoga pants.    You're not sure what grade your kids are in. You count trips to Walmart, the dentist, or the Grocery store as field trips.Everyone you meet asks you if you're worried about your kids socialization.You cringe at how crowded places become during school vacations & look forward to when "they" all go back to school.The words "snow day" and "sick day" don't necessarily mean there is no school.You get excited over supplies like a printer, a microscope, and maps.  Your children are just as comfortable talking to adults and young kids as they are to kids their own age.Your children enjoy spending time together as a family and even with their own siblings.  The librarians knows you and all your kids by na…

10 Favorite Gifts to Give

-

This month's 10 on the 10th list is all about our favorite gifts to give.  While I am hard at work writing up my Christmas list this list could not come at a more perfect time!




1.  Something I've Crafted-- I love making gifts for family members and I really enjoy experimenting with different crafts each year.  I've made homemade lotions and sugar scrubs, pillows and blankets, vinyl embellished everything and lots and lots of ornaments.






2.  An experience-- Rather than buying just another toy that will be forgotten about in no time we try to buy experiences for our boys (and this year other family members too!). We have bought family passes to the obstacle courses, the zoo, one year we used our Disney trip as a surprise Christmas gift.  I'd rather make memories with my boys and we have always found creative ways to wrap these gifts that get them so excited!



3.  A themed gift basket-- I love pulling together gift baskets and often add a unique handmade item or two to g…

100 Days of Science #68-- Index Card Tower

-
Image
My boys did such a wonderful job with their spaghetti bridges and popsicle stick bridges that I decided to look up some other fun STEM challenges. 
I found a fun index card challenge that I thought they might like.  I handed each of them a package of index cards from the dollar store and asked them to build the tallest tower they could just using index cards.  


Evan struggled quite a bit at first not thinking about folding the cards in any way but once we saw what his older brother's were doing he hatched a new plan. 







Every now and then they'd stop to measure their towers.. being very careful not to knock them over.




Ian build his tower on our coffee table making sure to use a nice wide base.






Ian's tower was the tallest by just a few inches and Evan had the shortest.

This challenge really got them thinking about structural integrity and they had to be real careful of how they moved about too.

Have you ever tried a fun challenge like this?
