Explore Forces and Motion is the main text for this three week homeschool science unit. Here are a few ways we utilize this book:
- Hands-On Activities: Learners replicate historical experiments mentioned in the book, such as Galileo's inclined plane experiment.
- Writing Assignments: The text serves as a springboard for writing assignments, where students are encouraged to express concepts learned in their own words. They might write a diary entry from the perspective of Isaac Newton or a letter explaining the importance of electromagnetism in everyday life.
- Educational Goals: Through guided reading sessions and related projects, homeschoolers achieve goals including understanding the basic principles behind each of the forces discussed in the book and applying these principles to solve practical problems.
- Scientific Vocabulary Expansion: Terms like inertia, momentum, and buoyancy become part of the student's everyday lexicon, enhancing their ability to articulate scientific concepts with confidence.
