August Homeschool Fun
Aug 1st, 2012 by Alicia
Happy August! Here’s a round-up of ideas I’ve written for ways to work some hands-on, educational fun (and just plain old fun!) into homeschooling this time of year…
Water balloon math, tracking and graphing temperatures, comparing apples and oranges, nature angles…
Sprinkler rainbows, sunflower sun dials, finding micrometeorites at the beach, campfire colors and bird watching
Ice melting, dead bug dissections, story stones, temperature comparisons and nature photography
Diving for math answers, trivia obstacle courses, sidewalk whales, making salsa…
Strew messy science experiment ingredients outside, make nature prints, do weed experiments and other open-ended science explorations…
Glow in the dark bead constellations, toad houses, timed track running, hammock reading nooks, cave exploration…
How many can you knock off in a month? Climb a tree, memorize a poem, press flowers, write a review on Amazon.com, learn how to build a camp fire…
More things that are too good to skip! Ant science experiments, produce taste tests, footprint painting, license plate maps, nontoxic weed killing experiments, rock painting, time capsules…
Estimating temperatures with kitchen ingredients, melting contests, cooling methods…
Lots of just for fun ways to stay cool, like ice necklaces, sponge balls and tarp slip and sliding.
My favorite list. We MUST do the waterbed trampoline before the summer is up!
What’s on your to-do list before summer ends?
