I stumbled across a great little play spot while traveling through San Francisco!
The Kids’ Spot next to gate 90 in terminal 3 is sponsored by a local museum and features weather related play- check it out!
A big ball of weather..
Low pressure graphics on the floor (and high pressure, too, not pictured)
Fun play with clouds..
And a stationary front slide.
Have your kids played at this fun spot? I didn’t have mine with me this trip, but they sure would have enjoyed it!
I’ve been busy this week, but the latest revision of Hands-On Science is finally complete! This book is for K-6, and for multi-grade families it is perfect. It is chock full of experiments and activities on these topics:
My favorite activity in the book is The Molecule Game, which the author, Liz Brough, has introduced throughout the text to demonstrate concepts from molecular motion to erosion. Basically it is a bunch of kids running around the room in organized chaos under guided instructions to demonstrate a point. Children careen off the walls with instructions like “heat up!” and “cool down!”.
Folks, its 200 pages of experiments and activities that use everyday materials you already have around the house such as bricks, ping pong balls, balloons, modeling clay, and jars.
And I need 3 bloggers to review the new book!
Do you think you would be a good candidate? Do you have children being homeschooled in the K-6 grades? I need someone who can set aside time enough to do 4 or 5 experiments at least throughout the book in order to provide a review by May 30th. Think about it, because I know we’re all busy with the school year!
