Science! What kid doesn't love a fun experiment, cool project or even video they find online all about their favourite animal. Learning and teaching science can be plenty of fun for both kids and parents, but sometimes proving that your child or student has learned anything can be difficult. How do you bring all of that real-world learning into a homeschool portfolio or proof of learning? You make it as fun as possible!
That is my hope with these printable science journals - this one the first in the series. On my new site, Quebec Homeschool Helps, I have been trying my best to make up a fun and easy way for homeschool parents in my own province to prove their learning. But you don't have to live here to enjoy these printables - they can be used by anyone!
Take the above example from the science journal - learning about translucent, transparent and opaque objects or substances. I have included an anchor chart or poster that is fun and easy to understand. Your child might already know what these three words mean, but proving that in a learning portfolio can be tricky. Here I've included a simple worksheet that allows students to fill in vocabulary words, as well as a simple activity in which they can discover whether objects are translucent, transparent, or opaque using a flashlight.
It's a simple way to show learning in science!
