Alphabetical List of the Elements

abc-list-of-elements copy

Joely was practicing with her Periodic Table of the Elements worksheets today, and she was having trouble spelling the names of the elements for one of the pages. To help her, I printed out an alphabetical list of the elements for her to refer to, and that fixed the problem immediately. I figured it'd be [...]

Free Periodic Table of the Elements + more (12-page Set of Printable Worksheets)

Periodic-Table

Joely decided she wanted to learn about chemistry this year, so I did some research and purchased Christian Kids Explore Chemistry. We're liking it so far, and she's learning alot. However, I'm not liking the flashcard method of learning the element names. So I've come up with a different method for her, hopefully one that [...]

Free Physics Curriculum and Tutorials

When using any curriculum for a given subject, it's always helpful to supplement with other resources. A different point of view can often make a difficult-to-grasp subject easier to understand. That's what we've been doing with my son's science curriculum this last week. He's been studying some basic physics — speed, acceleration, force, etc. — [...]

Why Can't We Walk in a Straight Line?

walk

I happened across this video earlier this evening and was intrigued. Apparently humans can't walk in a straight line when they can't see where they're going? Interesting thought. After watching the video, tell me you don't think this would make an interesting science fair experiment. (If you're reading this via email or RSS, you may [...]

Celsius and Fahrenheit Conversion Chart

celsius

The subject of temperature, boiling points, and Celsius vs. Fahrenheit arose during Jaden's science lesson today. It served as a reminder that I'm not very confident about converting tempteratures between Celsius and Fahrenheit; and I discovered my son needed a review as well. I created these two printable study charts about Celsius and Fahrenheit to [...]

Teach the Scientific Method with Mythbusters

If you're a homeschooler and you've never heard about the Discovery Channel show called Mythbusters, you're missing out on a great resource for homeschooling. Mythbusters' hosts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage use the scientific method — and usually some black powder — to bust or confirm myths about just about anything. With crash-test dummies, homemade [...]

Learn about Atoms with a Photographic Periodic Table of Elements

Yesterday Jeff informed me that Joely, our 7 year old, had been asking him about what atoms were. He said he'd tried to explain it in terms she could understand, but that he didn't think she had really 'gotten it.' And so I was assigned the task. Well, I love science, so I eagerly took [...]

The WorldWide Telescope Project

Have you ever heard of Microsoft's WorldWide Telescope project? I have to admit, I'm always pretty leery of anything produced by Microsoft (I'm a diehard Mac lover myself), but when I took a look at what the WorldWide Telescope project was, I was very impressed. It's a homeschooler's dream, especially if you have kids that [...]
