Science and History

Next year for Science and History my kids will all do the same curriculum but in a different way.  We will be using a mixture of Magic Tree House and Magic School Bus for these subjects.

Every other month we will be reading a Magic Tree House book.  Then Princess will come up with a project on the subject of the book.  She will be allowed to act, draw, make a model or write a report on the subject of the book. 

The months we do not read the Magic Tree house we will watch an episode of the Magic School Bus and study that subject in depth for a full month.  There will be science experiments, research and lots of fun.  Princess will be required to do a month long project to present at the end of the month for Science also. 

The younger children will be doing arts and crafts and small projects that they can do hands on. I want science and history to be lots of fun. 

When we start school in July we will not do either.  These lessons will start in August.  We will start with Dawn of the Dinosaurs.  We will discuss prehistoric history and paleontology.  I am hoping that they will enjoy the lessons.  We will be coloring dinosaurs.  Talking about prehistory times and whether or not cave men lived in the time of the dinosaurs.  If they believe they did then how would they survive?  If not then what were the dinosaurs like and how did they relate?

It should be interesting to see.
