Our homeschool journey and my dad's retirement started at about the same time. It was the perfect opportunity to utilize our desire to incorporate family and community into our home education and my dad's love for science. The two of us began brain-storming and came up with the Young Scientists Club. It is a group of about 15-20 families, some homeschool and some don't, and we meet 2 times a month to go on field trips or do experiments or just learn about science in a hands-on way. We have only had three meetings so far but they have been a lot of fun!
Our first trip was to the Mojave River. We explored the trails leading to the river bottom.
The kids found a crab claw
Our second trip was to the planetarium where we watched a movie about the Andromeda Galaxy. Our third field trip was to the Observatory. We got to view Mars, Venus and the Moon through the telescope!
