Actual Size Science Review

Posted by A Gluten Free Mom on May 10, 2013 in Uncategorized |


Educents has an awesome product right now, Actual Size Science and Actual Size Social Studies. This is super fun way to help your kids see the real size of things in comparison to themselves for objects that we would be unlikely to see in real life. I had the opportunity to try out the Actual Size Science with my kids this week and we (by we I mean I) decided that we were going to do the cloud lesson since it has been rainy and overcast here. We get about 2 weeks of cloudy weather a year and I wanted to take advantage of it!

BubbaBear loved being able to play with his chalk in the driveway, and I loved the fact that he was learning while having fun.

Some information from the publisher:

KEY FEATURES

  • PEDAGOGY – Teacher-created lessons are pedagogically sound and appeal to all learning styles.
  • AUTHENTICITY – Blueprints are painstakingly researched and exquisitely accurate.
  • SELECTION – Topics are both core knowledge and high-interest.
  • VERSATILITY – Endless possibilities for curriculum integration.
  • RETENTION – Student recall is much higher with hands-on activities.
  • CUTENESS! – Students sit in an actual-size outline of a prairie schooner and talk about what they can fit for their trip West. Kids run the actual length of the Wright Brothers’ flights, arms outstretched. And what could be more fun than looking a life-sized Apatosaurus in the eye, strolling the actual-size deck of the Mayflower, or playing president inside a full-sized Oval Office?
