Discover and Explore Science

Discover and Explore Science Discover and Explore is about science fun! Science is all around us, we see it and use it every day.

My goal is that one day, maybe just maybe someone will remember my classes or videos and say, "Science is so cool!" Kids because their inborn curiosity are really just little scientists. At Discover and Explore we encourage and expect them to explore those questions and discover the answers through hands on experiments and activities.

Did you know that we have a PARTIAL eclipse viewable in Virginia, on April 8 starting around 2 pm. It's a Monday and kids will be in school. The biggest question of the day, will my glasses I fought to hard to get in 2017, remember how hard they were to find at the last minute, will they be safe to use. The answer is complicated. How important is your eyesight to you? In my humble opinion, go to amazon, and fork over the $2 and get new ones. But here is one page that has some information worth reading! https://eclipse2024.org/glasses_old.html
Do your own research!
Also check out your State Parks, they will have some programming a few weeks earlier to get you in the mindset on how to watch safely. Have fun! AND BE EYE SAFE!

Hey parents. Today's lesson wasn't worthy of a video. We learned a song about plant parts and got to see, touch and eat the 6 plant parts! Roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds! The song is by the Banana Slug String Band . I have been singing this song to kids for over 20 years! It's a classic. I suggest looking it up on You Tube. The Banana Slugs are awesome!!!

Another fun moon phases you can do with kids. Oreo moon phases! We are not doing this in class today lol
