Making Science Fun for Kids

It's been tough year with Jayden at school as he's being really challenged to do his best and focus in the classroom. This means that I try everything I can to make learning fun when it comes to homework time.

This year, I've studied for several grade two science tests with Jayden. I can very clearly label the water and wind cycle and man, do I ever know the properties of solids, liquids and gases! Some of our best homework moments have been doing science work. He loves science almost as much as his older brother. Not only is it cool, kids just love to know what makes the world work, how things in nature happen and how to create their very own experiments. We have tons of fascinating books about science and they were all Ty's favourites, as a little kid. He loved reading about animals, thunder and lightening and of course, dinosaurs!

One of our favourite things to do together is go to the Ontario Science Centre and we've seen some incredible exhibits over the last year or two. The Human Body and the Science of Rock n Roll were just two of our adventures there.

Now you can take a break from watching Full House with the kids and have science fun with these titles from Netflix Canada! We absolutely love "The Magic School Bus", "Sid the Science Kid" and just recently watched "Let Your Mind Wonder" for the first time. Kids love to see science come to life in these shows for little and big kids.

1. The Magic School Bus Gains Weight
2. Fetch! with Ruff
3. Animal Mechanicals, Balloon Volcano Island
4. Sid the Science Kid
