Great home school science

I use this with my kindergarten and 3rd grader. We really like it. It really makes them think and is totally hands on. Activity one, we looked at a picture in the book. Then we made a list about what we saw in the picture like what the person was wearing, she's happy, she's pretty, etc. Then we classified our statements into three categories: observations, inferences, and opinions. Once prompted, my 5 year old caught on. This really makes them use their brains! You will love it, too.
