It’s Tuesday, and time for Science in our Homeschooling Classroom. I would like to invite you to check out a new website I found. The website is called Popcorn.com and both Charlie and David wanted me to remind you to make you a snack of Popcorn before you visit the website.
Recommended Website:
Age Range: All (All grades; children with parental supervision)
October is National Popcorn Month and at Popcorn.org you will find all kinds of lessons and activities themed around popcorn to help you celebrate.
When you get to the site you will see the list of Lesson Plans written for the classroom; but they can be tweaked for homeschooling as well. The ones related to science include:
- Agricultural Sciences – how new plants are made, how seeds come through the soil, seed germination tests, and more
- Agriculture Science Projects – projects using chemistry, botany, environmental sciences and microbiology
- Health Sciences/Nutrition – popcorn in the food pyramid
Be sure to check out the popcorn worksheets, coloring sheets and activities listed on the left sidebar menu for kids. There’s also a list of popcorn-related books.
This site is sure to whet the kids’ appetites for popcorn – so make sure you have some in the house before you visit the site!
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
