Enrichment Science

Science is my daughter's favorite subject.  She is an artistic learner and I try to keep that in mind when choosing curriculum for her.  For science, we use Cut and Paste: Science which is wonderful for her because of the involvement of art, manipulatives and science.  Since this is catered to her learning she retains so much more than when we used a very route science curriculum.  We also supplement it with science experiments for every lesson and the occasional enrichment class.

We are members of the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa or MOSI as the locals call it.  We take several enrichment classes throughout the year.  For only $12 per class it is a great deal. 

Yesterday she did a class called Blossom Buddies.  In the class they learned the parts of a plant, diagrammed a plant and dissected a flower.  They also made a flower and took home seeds that they helped prepare for an ongoing project.  This worked out well for us because this is exactly what we were working on at home so we were able to bring it all together.



MOSI normally publishes the class schedule at our local homeschool convention in May so it is easy to align the curriculum with the classes that you want to take.

Having two very distinct learners I love finding the things that will boost their learning and passion for learning.  What do you do to boost your homeschool experience?
