![]() I am a newb on these but the kids love watching the Universe series and other space shows with me. I had one as a child but I was never very good with it (the skies are not too great in Seattle). This may be overkill now but in a couple years this sounds like a good investment so they can start studying "micro bugs" for fun. I really enjoyed biology in college and I am hoping to engage them with microscopic projects. The kids enjoy the digital microscope but it is difficult to use. Snap Circuits has an RC kit and there are build your own basic models that may be just right to jump them into to tearing these apart on their own. We have some RC cars (Losi Mini-Ts) but I got them 2 years ago and they were a little over their head. I have seen some books that are aimed at helping children build various models. He enjoys fiddling with code-like programs (he really liked Kodu a lot), enjoys Legos and RC. In 15 months our 7 year old will be 9 and I think he will be quite ready of Lego Mindstorms. I am contemplating what to do next with them. They don't even consider it a part of their homeschool curriculum (probably because dad does all these things with them and doesn't mention the words school). ![]() My sons consider it their favorite thing to do-my oldest says he loves science. My parents recently got them a 150x digital microscope and they really like it. So much so I picked up the SC-750 model and plan to use it with them daily during my recovery from surgery. ![]() I recently picked up a Snap Circuits and they LOVE it. We have a couple experiment books and a couple handfuls of DK books that we enjoy. Do others have ideas and suggestions for hobbies, toys, adventures, etc that are fun and educational? Especially in regards to science? Things that worked well for you as a child or for your own children? ![]()
