Julie of KY Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'm trying to come up with a list of project ideas that can be done independantly by my boys as they enter high school. (Oldest is a math geek and second is more into engineering design.) I figure some subjects I'll "teach" - math, some science, writing, latin. Other subjects, such as history, I'll give them a lot of freedom in picking what they want to read. I want to build in some time that has to be "school learning" but is essentially student driven learning. Depending on what it is, I'll probably find a catagory to put it under. It's easy for me to make a list of extra books/subjects that can fall under independent school reading, but I'm looking for project ideas or other non-reading work that can count as school. Here are some of my ideas: Experiments - desing and carry out any experiment and then write it up building any kind of project/engineering design Electrical projects Participating in bill paying/budgeting for several months to learn more about personal finance teaching company videos My second son is good at coming up with ideas if I tell him he can do anything that falls under learning, otherwise I'll assign him more work. My oldest needs choices spelled out - but I'm not the best at coming up with ideas. Please help me come up with some ideas! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWife Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Julie, I have a list of free online resources in a variety of topics. I think they could find a lot of project ideas on the different sites. PM your email to me if you would like me to send it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
