Homeschool Science Tip of the Month - Give your kids the tools to build something.
There's a meme out there that says physics is the branch of science concerned with using extremely long and complicated formulas to describe how a ball rolls. It cracks me up every. single. time.
And the deeper you get into physics, the more this becomes a reality. But during the elementary, middle, and high school years, physics doesn't have to be this complicated!
Learning about physics can be as simple as this month's tip - give your kids the tools to build something! You can do things like:
- Build a gumdrop and toothpick tower.
- Build a popsicle stick bridge.
- Build a zip line for stuffed animals.
- Build a birdhouse or a bat-box.
- Build with LEGOS.
- Build with K'nex kits.
- Build and float foil boats.
- Build and play Jenga!
Whatever you choose, your kiddos will learn a lot about physics just by building and playing with different materials!
