When the question, “How do I do science labs at home?” is asked, I want to answer, “Home IS a science lab.”
My children do real science labs all the time. They may have never used a Bunsen burner, a Petrie dish, or a giant beaker, but on any given week, one of them will use a mig welder, a measuring cup, or an air compressor.
I just don’t get the pressure to make our homes into science labs. After all, your children will need the skills to handle themselves in their homes way more than they will ever need them in a lab. I’m pretty sure many home skills would transfer into a lab. I’m not sure if lab skills transfer into the home.
And so end my thoughts–I’ve got an important experiment going on right now in parenting that I’ve got to get back to.
Be real,
Todd
