Aludlam Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 So, we were putting away the laundry and my 4 year old pipes up and says,"If we only had a pulley would could get the laundry upstairs faster." I just smiled, because I knew she had seen something about pulleys on t.v. I said, "We're going to learn all about them in science ... someday. We'll learn all about levers too." (At this point I think I'm pretty smart b/c I'm channeling 12th grade physics) My eight year old pipes up and says, "And don't forget about the incline plane." I just stop and look at her ... where in the world did she ever hear about that? (while I'm thumbing the note cards in my head) Anyway, so we need some fun physics/physcial science books to read (well, they have to be fun for ME to read to them!) We like the Let's Read and Find Out, All About, etc. books. Also, any supplies that would be fun for us to play around with. I would love to hear any suggestions you might have for us! thanks Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenni Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Do they watch Sid the Science Kid? We don't usually, but caught a couple of the shows this week and that was the topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrumm4448 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 The Art of Construction is a great resource that my ds loves. The author has several other titles dealing with the physics of construction. We have several of them, but are still plowing through other books.

Pata Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Gizmos and Gadgets It's packed full of projects that kids will love and it also explains the physics behind them. I highly recommend it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 You could try RS4K Physics, it has cute pictures and is in English! http://www.gravitaspublications.com/_product_68277/Pre-Level_I_Physics_Student_Text_(hardcover) Not loads of fun, but covers things well and easy to do.

kiana Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 If you don't already have The Way Things Work, it sounds like it would be awesome. (Not as a curriculum, but just to read). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look into it. We're not looking for a curriculum. Just some fun books for 8yo, 4yo, 3yo and Mama to enjoy. angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
