K8 Science
I click a seemingly endless number of links during my travels through the internet every day. I always find something great. Today is no exception.
While on one of my clicking sprees early this morning I found an incredible site that I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of before. The kids and I have been glued to the site most of the morning. What has my kids glue to the computer screen? Cartoons? Nope. Games? Nope. TV shows online? Not this time.
Science. My kids soak up science like my carpet soaks up spilled koolaide. We’ve spent the morning watching presentations on how to teach science topics to your students. The website is K8 Science and if you don’t have it bookmarked you should head there now!
K8 Science is jam-packed with goodies for your whole family to enjoy. There are streaming video presentations that will guide you through ways to teach science and the topics they cover in the streaming videos have slide show presentations that you can use to teach the lessons to your children. There are downloadable PDFs with resources you won’t want to pass up.
Although the site is intended to be a resource for school teachers, it would be an invaluable free resource for homeschoolers or individuals interested in refreshing or enriching their science knowledge.
If you like science at all, make sure you free up some time before visiting K8 Science because there is such a wealth of information on the site, you’ll lose track of time as you dig through all that’s available there.
