If your kids are struggling to learn a subject, if they feel disengaged and uninterested in learning, then there are two questions that you MUST answer for them first: 1. What exactly is this? (Be very clear what they are learning)2. Why should I care? What is this FOR? (This is the practical application part)To counteract this, there are three important steps when teaching science that you need to make sure you do in the right order (Hint - most textbooks and teachers will do this backwards!) Listen in to learn more!

So many things we use everyday are simply not taught in a regular school curriculum, including leadership, project development, time management, and so much more! Join Al and Aurora from Supercharged Science in this special live class session with parents as they discuss and answer questions about how to model Goal Setting with kids in a way that is fun, practical and will stick with them for the long run.

Science is more than a classroom - it’s actually pretty difficult to define. Science is not about what we know, but rather about how we face what we don’t know. It’s not a textbook of principles, set of rules, or collection of factoids. It’s a process, a thing you do. Science is what happens when you ask questions, get back answers, and try to figure and make sense of it all.Science gives you a way to ask questions and get back answers. There are many different ways to do this, the Scientific Method being only one of the ways of sorting and sifting through the information as you go along. We’ll be teaching about several different methods as we go along in our eScience program and highlighting which methods are most used by real scientists and engineers. (Guess what?? It’s not the scientific method!)Believe it or not, there’s a straightforward method to doing science. You can’t just sit around and argue about how things work, but you actually have to do experiments and be able to measure your results. And other people have to get be able to get those same results on their own, too! While this sounds basic, it wasn’t until the 1500s when Tycho Brahe suggested that people do experiments to figure things out instead of discussing (and arguing) about the way things should be.What we don’t know is just as important as what we do know. But how do we fit all of these things together? We can break science down into three basic questions:What IS it? What is it made of, look like, act like? (This is where you describe it.)How does it work? Why is it that way? What are the physics behind it?How does it move through time? How did it start, develop through time, and end? What are the laws of physics that determine how things unfold in time?Most things in science do not yet have answers to all three of these questions! Sometimes parts of learning is unlearning some of the things you think you know. Things that you’re pretty sure are right! Scientists have struggled with this for When you really think about it, a lot of science is actually unlearning. Science challenges you to rethink what you think you already know:“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.” ~Mark TwainSometimes unlearning the ‘absolute truths’ that have stood for thousands of years is part of the science process. Here are a few examples: the Sun revolving around the Earth; the ocean was bottomless; there’s no life in Antarctica; the Earth is flat… just to name a few.So how do we establish what we do and don’t know? One of the most surprising things we’ve learned is that although the Universe is incredibly vast but still able to be understood.“The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible.”~Albert EinsteinWhen you first start out doing real science, it may seem awkward, disjointed, difficult, and even a bit weird. But that’s just because you’re new at it. People aren’t instant experts at new stuff, and you shouldn’t expect to master something in a heartbeat that is going to last you a lifetime.“It will seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first.”~Naomoto MusashiSome of this will be new to you, unfamiliar, even counter-intuitive. But just stick with it and I guarantee that it will pay off. You’ll notice this when things start to ’snap’ into place as your child gains an amazing understanding of not only the ways of the universe, but how to think and question new stuff that comes their way.If you found this article helpful and you find yourself thinking, “Hey, you know, I want this person to teach my kids science for me, and to create my curriculum lessons for me…” then we can do just that.Go to www.SuperchargedScience.com/easyWhen you get there, y

How we play games is how we do life! You can use games to teach your kids about honesty, being on a team, taking calculated risks, cooperating with others in a competitive field, and figuring out the most important goal you should be strategizing for. My personal favorites for beginners to board games: 1. 7 Habits of Happy Kids2. Forbidden Desert3. Compounded4. 7 Wonders 5. Splendor Personal favorites (for more seasoned players) that have a strong structure for teachable moments: 1. Wealth of Nations2. Food Chain Magnate3. Terraforming Mars4. Through the Ages5. Power Grid6. Robot Rally Do you have a favorite board game that you've found helpful to your kids' learning? Write them in the comments, and let us know what you found worked for your kids for that particular game! Thanks for watching!

Your kids beg for a day off just to "do their own thing". Now once in a while, sure – no problem, but if it’s the norm, then we’ve got a problem. Most homeschool families find that they don’t have time or the background to teach science to their kids. If this is you, you’re not alone.
