  • Can I add a hands-on activity to this worksheet?
  • Instead of reading, spelling, or narrating, would it be more fun to sing it?
  • Would a drawing or picture of this science concept make it easier to understand and more fun?
  • What type of project could we work on to really make this subject come to life?
  • Are there any audiobooks or songs that we can listen to as we explore this subject?

Homeschooling the elementary years is such a special time. Make the most of these moments by keeping it fun for all.
