Six Ways to Discover your Inner Scientist
There are so many different things you can do to discover your inner scientist. The Internet has really helped to revolutionize the need for science, so it is important to do all you can to learn about the science all around you.
Use a Microscope
The world of microscopes is truly amazing and creates an inquisitive nature in children. There are so many great activities that can be done with a microscope that children will love finding many different kinds of things to view. The most powerful microscopes allow magnification to at least 200 times the normal size. This allows young scientists to see the magnificence with which things are made. Microscopes are one of the best ways to awaken the inner scientist.
Telescopes
Telescopes are another way to see amazing things up close. Any child that loves to look at the stars and the moon will love having a telescope to use. These devices have been around for ages, and they continue to be popular items for young scientists to enjoy.
Scientific Toys
There are also many products on the market that can be purchased relatively inexpensively that will help your child to love science. Many of these items will allow young scientists to make snow, create putty or even break apart eggs to find bones. Get to a store that has some of these things, and your child will likely become very interested.
Family Field Trip
There are also many places that can be visited to learn more about science. A quick internet search will take you to many places that have scientific based projects. Candy factories, gem hunting places and actual science museums are often visited and enjoyed by young and old scientists alike.
Simple Experiment
You can also get online and discover a ton of great science experiments that you can do at home. Many of these experiments can be made by using items that you already have in your home. You can easily create volcanoes, tornadoes and make lava lamps in just a little bit of time.
Educational Shows
All budding scientists also need to watch some of the more educational television shows. Bill Nye and Mr. Wizard are two classic scientific leaders who have helped to promote the love of science in children. Many of these shows can be found online, and there are also DVDs for sale in many different locations.
Showing, modeling and experimenting are the best ways to make science come to life and showcase your little budding scientist.
