This summer, plan to talk to your kids about science. Its all around us, literally. This weeks blog activity is stargazing, and I don't mean at the supermarket checkout!
If your kids are young, take a couple of blankets out to the yard and lie down together to look at the stars. Talk about landmarks like the North Star, the Big Dipper, and any other constellations you might know. If your kids are in elementary school, try to go further afield. You could do your stargazing in a local park. Maybe do it in a variety of places and talk about the differences. Take your kids to the library and check out books about the stars and the planets or let them use the web to look up interesting facts.
The important part is spending time with your kids. Sparking their interest in astronomy is just a fun by-product!
