Supercharged Science/Huge Savings -- Last Day

Have you decided what you are doing for science this year? Have you thought of Supercharged Science? I have a subscription there and like them so much that I am an affiliate for them.

They're having a huge sale, and today's the last day. Here's the information:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
There is still some room left to enroll in Aurora Lipper’s  online e-science curriculum.
 
And, she's giving away a whole bunch of extra cool stuff.
 
BUT, today is the last day to enroll for fall 2014 and still get all the free bonuses.
 
Click the link below to get the details before it fills up:
 
My son and I have had some real fun with things we learned through Supercharged Science, and there's still so much we haven't seen! The site is huge!
 
If you're just tuning in, here's the scoop.
 
e-Science is the best hands-on science curriculum out there.  Aurora Lipper, creator of the program, want people to see this for themselves so much that she’s put together this special sale with a whole lot of extra bonuses where you can save 70% over the regular price.
 
This is a self-teaching hands-on curriculum that kids can do on their own.
 
So, if you don’t have time to teach science, or if science isn’t your forte, this might just be the curriculum for you.
 
The kind of learning that really relates to the world around them.
 
Rather than try to explain it all, I'll leave that to Aurora herself.  But having  seen her stuff, I can tell you that she really over-delivers.
 
Today is the last day to enroll for fall 2014 at the special 70% off price and get all the bonuses. 
 
I think there aren’t many spots left.

E-camp Still Enrolling!

 
Last day!
 
There is still some room left to enroll in Aurora Lipper’s online science Camp.
 
And, she'll be giving away a whole bunch of extra free bonuses.
 
BUT, enrollment for 2014 officially closes tomorrow at 6 PM.
 
Click the link below to get the details before it fills up:
 
If you're just tuning in, here are the details.
 
e-Camp is an all out totally fun AND educational online science camp.   
 
If you want to keep your kids' learning this summer, but you also want it to be totally fun, this might just be the answer.
 
Imagine having all the fun and excitement of a live-and-in-person summer camp, but being able to have your kids do it on their own schedule (it's set up so they can do it on their own - just set them up and they'll be engaged for hours). 
 
Plus, as a parent, you can feel good because even though they're having a total blast, they're actually learning good solid science. 
 
The kind of learning that really relates to the world around them.
 
Rather than try to explain it all, I'll leave that to Aurora herself.  But I have seen her stuff, and I can tell you that she really over-delivers.
 
Tomorrow is the last day to enroll for summer 2014.  It's a bit different that normal ongoing camp enrollments, but Aurora says that she wants to focus her energy on teaching, so she likes it this way.
 
So, get the whole story from Aurora herself.  Click the link below now to learn more:
 
I know your kids will have a great summer in e-Camp.

Supercharged Science - A 2014 TOS Homeschool Crew Review

Have you heard about Supercharged Science yet? Well I was delighted to learn that I would get to review the e-Science Premium Membership again this year. We received a six-month family subscription.
I have been having so much fun with Supercharged Science e-Science this time around! Now, just to warn you, there is a lot there, and it can be overwhelming at first! If you look at the e-Science topics page, you'll see 20 different Units, with additional buttons as well for "New to e-Science", "Introduction", Unit 0 (Zero), etc. Take a look this free special introductory offer.

I initially went back to Unit 0 again, this year, and focused on the 18 key scientific principles, many of which kids need to know before they head to college. I was thinking I was going to park there with "Miner", but as I got into the material I could tell it wasn't going to interest him to sit through it. He's almost to high school, but he really doesn't want to learn about what he needs to learn about. He just wants to get in there, get his hands dirty, make it pop, fizzle, and overflow, bang it with a hammer, dunk it in a bucket, etc. So, in my house right now, Unit 0 is for mom. 
So after I refamiliarized myself with the program, I studied my child Then I studied the Units, and I concluded that he would want to do the Earth Science unit right now (Unit 20). So I clicked on it and was informed by the program that I did not have access to that Unit. But I've been around e-Science long enough to know that if I want a Unit that has not yet been revealed to me, all I need to do is ask. The reason new subscribers receive certain units at the beginning, and are then granted additional units each month, is so that they won't become overwhelmed. But if you want something that is there, just ask. So I did, and there it was!

So I opened up the Earth Science unit and began to look at it. It starts with a section on weather. I showed it to Miner, but he started snoring. He and I both knew what he wanted to start with -- Gems and Minerals. Lesson 2 of Unit 20 focuses on Geology, which is what you need to focus on to work with gems and minerals. We watched the introduction to the Geology section, but then I hopped back to a section about creating a science notebook.

Miner will be in 9th grade next year, and after I had listened to Aurora's videos about the importance of the Science Journal, I decided now was the time for me to have Miner learn about using one and require that he use one. So we spent some time watching the video teaching him all about the Science Journal. He wasn't happy about it, but I consider it a necessary "evil" to get him started on this, which is something I will want him to be doing throughout his high school years.

So, now that he knew what to do with his Science Journal and why, I gave him a red spiral (his favorite color), and we got started. Now, I myself was starting this unit not knowing the difference between a rock and a mineral, and not knowing the exact significance of the items on a Periodic Table of Elements, nor the difference between an element and a mineral. So forgive me for mistakes I may make in what I say, as I'm still a new "geologist" myself.

We actually listened to the introduction again, and this time Miner took notes. I'm real pleased with how well he did. He doesn't have much experience with taking notes. I was also happy to be getting many of my own questions about elements and minerals answered as well. Aurora goes so fast! But there is a pause button, and also most of the video is reiterated in the reading material. 

So we watched videos, I read the reading assignments aloud for the both of us, and we started watching videos on experiments.

What quickly became clear to me was that my son was going to get bored and frustrated if I didn't take the time to prepare before pulling out the science. Each Unit has a shopping list, and each experiment needs certain items, but to look at the shopping list for an entire unit can be overwhelming. What Aurora recommends is that you peruse the experiments and start with ones for which you have the materials on hand. So that's what we did. For my son, also, it worked better for me to watch the experiment video in advance, and then just tell my son what the experiment was without having him watch the video. It depended upon the video. So sometimes I had him watch the videos, and sometimes I just had him do the experiment. We worked out a balance that worked well for us.

So I worked really hard (felt like I was chasing my tail) rounding up materials I knew we had in our house to run experiments on the topic of my son's delight. It was discouraging at times because I took so long that my son was starting to make comments about not wanting to do a bunch of "lame" experiments. He just wanted to go out hunting for more specimens.  Fortunately for me, though, most of this review period the weather was really fowl, so we were stuck inside anyway.

We started with a scratch experiment, after learning about Moh's hardness scale. We have a specimen of talc, and that's the only specimen we have that was affected by a fingernail. Miner really wasn't interested in doing the full experiment, so I quickly moved on. (The rest of the experiment involves testing hardness by scraping a plate of glass and scraping with a steel nail. As I was driving, later, I had to request Miner please take his specimen off the car window. We may have to go back and finish this experiment!)

We moved on to a color streak test, using the back-side of a tile from our patio table. One way of identifying minerals is that a certain mineral always leaves a streak of a certain color.
   

We were ready to do an experiment that called for seeing if the rocks float

Supercharged Science

Today I accessed my current membership to Supercharged Science, and we started working on Magnetism. This is a membership site, so I'm not sure if you can actually get to the Magnetism material by clicking that link. You probably get to a top page that tells you that you need to log in to go any further.

Anyway, my son has always loved Aurora Lipper, so if I can just get and stay organized for a little while, this could work out well for us!  I just printed out the lesson plans, and I need to prepare to go, lesson by lesson, so that I have the materials he needs to do the experiments (in advance) each time we get to an experiment, rather than getting to each experiment and then spending 30-60 minutes of school time trying to find the called for materials.  ::sigh::

I'll have to let you know how it goes. I'll try to take pictures.
