Just wanted to post to all of you who read earlier in Domestic Legacies about the Krampf free weekly Science experiments that Mr. Krampf at Krampf.com is finally sending actual Science experiments again through e-mail (They're also posted on his website). We had been itching for more experiments through the past few weeks of his series on Science Fairs (which was good reading, but we like the hands on experiments that he sends!)
This past week's lesson was called "Electrical Tape" and is all about the positive and negative charges on a roll of adhesive tape, that when quickly pulled creates sparks that can be seen in the dark, exhibiting the property of triboluminescence--big word, but the experiment was simple enough to be enjoyed by even the younger ones!

Cool! I'm not a homeschooler, but I do supplement my daughter's education with extra stuff like this.
I love your blog background, it's so pretty! :)
Glad you stopped by, Happy Mom! My blog background came from thecutestblogontheblock-the link is at the very top left side of my blog! She has some really cute templates!
I wish I had the time, energy, and commitment to home school my kids. Looks like they do some pretty cool stuff! My perception of homeschooling is changing. I use to be totally against it, thought my kids would not get enough “real world” exposure. I’m starting to realize it is more about “right world” teaching.
God Bless!
Scott, There are so many styles, methods and resources for homeschoolers! Whereas a few years ago homeschoolers might have been confined to their living rooms with no social interaction, there are now so many opportunities for our children that we have to carefully pick and choose to make the best use of our time! Any parent, in a sense, is a homeschooler-as you have a massive effect on their world view, and can choose to become involved in what they are learning in many ways, supplementing what they learn in a traditional school!
Thanks for stopping by!
