seaben Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Well our local public schools have closed until at least April 24th so after partial home schooling math for a few years, I'll be doing it all for at least 5 weeks. I have basic ideas for most things but I science is a bit of a problem. When the closure was only 2 weeks, I thought about just watching Crash Course Science or Royal Institution videos but now I would like something more real. The problem is I have one kid in the middle of MS physical science and the other in HS Biology. Does anyone have any ideas that I could implement quickly?

Black-eyed Suzan Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I would be tempted to choose a related topic (or 2-3) that they have interest in and that isn’t likely to be covered when they return and have them study that. They can read adult-level science trade books, then tell/write about it or teach you what they learned. https://www.nsta.org/publications/ostb/ They could design an experiment and complete it. Ruth (lewelma) has lots of posts about how she does that. You could also do nature study and learn about plants/animals/geological phenomena in your area. I wish you the best! What a strange situation we find ourselves in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
