1/17/2012 After conducting the fun-filled EASY experiments in "I Fall Down", I went home with an eye opener. I stated to myself, "if I enjoyed this as an adult every child will too". It was so easy and very manageable but enlightening and informative at the same time. A Light bulb went off and you start to remember all the facts you learned in grade school, and middle school, even high school. In grade school I learned "what goes up must comes down" in middle school I learned " gravity is the force behind what goes up must come down", and was able to identify why. In high school I learned " heavier things dont fall faster the fall harder". I say all of this is because its amazing that we can teach three year olds all three concepts and they will truly get an understanding because its so easy to swallow. I've even included the experiments in this weeks lesson plans.
