Mr. Q. is an eighth grade science teacher, as well as the author of an elementary science curriculum especially for homeschoolers! Mr. Q. also has a blog on which he features some very fun lessons every week! These lessons have been revolving around something all kids like - food! I've done them with my students and we have had a wonderful - and delicious - time of it. The lessons are based on something kids might normally eat in the course of a week - like cereal, bacon, mustard - and what Mr. Q views as the four main concepts of science are applied to that particular food. Very clever! Here are the four concepts excerpted from the blog:
•Atoms: Everything is made of atoms.
•Density: The amount of atoms within every object is known as the density of the object.
•Diffusion: Areas with lots of atoms tend to move to areas with fewer atoms.
•Law of Conservation: Atoms cannot be created or destroyed, only rearranged
If you would like to start these lessons with your child, I recommend you go back and read THIS POST and then begin with the lesson on How to Teach Science During Breakfast.
Bon appetit!
