FAMILY SCIENCE Teachers & Parents of children Years 1-9 FAMILY SCIENCE is an informal science education program that gives parents and children an opportunity to work and learn together. Hands-on activities that use easy-to-find, inexpensive materials let families explore the ways in which science plays a role in daily life. Parental involvement in FAMILY SCIENCE is key to the program’s success. By showing interest in science and making time to explore ideas and conduct simple investigations, parents can have a positive influence on children who may otherwise decide that science is too hard, too abstract, or boring. An added benefit of FAMILY SCIENCE activities is that they provide parents with a link to the school science curriculum. Doing science at home opens the door to talk with kids about what they’re learning in school and can help reinforce the idea that anyone can be a scientist. FMS9901 $15.00 |

PROBLEM SOLVING WITH NUMBER TILES - Compiled by Len Cooper 2000 NUMBER TILES encourage children to investigate mathematical situations and then display the answer they are most happy with. They have an advantage over pencil and paper activities as errors made during the investigation are not recorded as would happen with pencil and paper. This can be an advantage for children who have poor self-esteem with mathematics, especially number activities. Use of the Tiles encourages risk taking, an activity many children seem afraid to take during maths sessions. See e-resources. |
