Fish and Fish Science Projects

"Everybody is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will spend it's whole life believing that it is stupid." -Albert Einstein

I love that quote. It is certainly something to consider.

One of my favorite spring activities growing up was going smelting. Now I didn't care much for cleaning and eating them but catching them-that was fun. Smelt are fish and fish is today's science/nature topic.

Intriguing Physics

I'm sorry to say when I studied Physics in high school I didn't enjoy it, like it or even care about it. All I wanted to do was get it over with. This doesn't have to be the case for your students/children. The following sites helped me to see how intriguing and interesting Physics can be.

To explore, discover and uncover news in the field of physics check out Physics.org
I'm ready to go and check out weird phenomena and spooky science-so cool.

If you are fortunate enough to already be intrigued by the studies of Physics perhaps this next site will be of use.

Eric Weisstein's World of Science is an encyclopedia listing of terms and topics related to physics. In addition to Physics entries, there are links to Mathematics, Science Biographies, Chemistry and Astronomy.

Have a great day exploring!

Learning Science with videos and games

I have two websites for you today on the topic of Science. I love science and exploring and discovering new things however, many students find the science textbook explanations hard to follow or boring or just not engaging.

The following two sites try to change that by using age related games and videos to try to make it more interesting.

The first link is for the younger crowd-preschool and elementary age students
BBC Science Clips

The next link is for games that are challenging and information packed on more complex science topics. Perfect for high school age students and older but may also be used with advanced middle school aged children.

Have a great day playing ...er...I mean...learning science.

Hodge Podge of Homeschool Resources

I'm excited to get started with this homeschool resource and link blog. Generally, I will only be posting one or two links per day and I will try to stay on one topic per day but today will be different. Instead I will post a resource link that will co-ordinate with the upcoming pages of this blog. Enjoy!
