Though I was never good in math at school, I loved almost all of the rest of my classes. I was always excited when we had a science experiment to do in school, even though I could not share this with my friends. That just would not have been cool, of course. Science was always one of my most favorite things, and it was because we were always doing fascinating things in class. My dad was always the one that shared this interest with me, and he would often help me come up with ideas when I had to do a project on my own.
I’ve always been interested in magic, and perhaps that is why I liked to do each science experiment so much. The two are much the same, in a way. You don’t know what is going to happen until you see it. Most of the time, each experiment as just that. Though there was always a goal when you do a science experiment, you never know if you are going to get it right. I was always amazed how easily something could go wrong, and what happens when things go right.
I can’t wait until my daughter comes home from school to tell me about her first science experiment. I hope that she holds the same fascination that I did when I was in Science class. Though I know the early things that she does in school will not be complicated, they should be a lot of fun for her. We often get a science experiment in the store that you can do at home. Though I know that this is more for me than for her because she is so young, she still has fun when we do them.
If you are looking for a science experiment with your child, you can find things that are appropriate for their age and learning level. Though many of them are simply, they can learn a lot from them. You can find many of these by doing a search, and you might want to check out many of the great home schooling sites that are popping up all over the Internet. I have a few friends that home school, and they have shared some of the sites that they use with me, and I have to say that there is some great stuff out there. All you have to do is to look for it. Just remember to practice safety above all when you are doing an experiment together.
