I am a scientist mum of twins and a science educator. I created a series of videos with quick STEM educational activities for young kids and parents/educators to watch and play together, in parallel to the video. I only use household items and aim for very very low cost & quick preparation so you can do it together with your little ones avoiding long boring preparations! The videos are playfully designed encouraging kids to feel happy and excited for science activities so they can have fun and learn:)
Do you think such activity would work for your family? What can I improve further to my videos/ activities? What would you advice me?
From the title I was expecting an usual pendulum experiment and no surprises, but I remembered a previous video about mixing hot and cold water, so I keep watching and got a surprise.
Thank you so much for watching it, and for the tip on putting a small part of it. You are right, I haven't thought of that. I can't edit the link now (unfortunately!) but yes, I will be following this advice for the future. And I am glad you liked it, its one of our favorite projects. It took a lot of self restrain and patience from kids (and adults haha!) but it was very rewarding at the end:) Let me know if/when you try it!
Something like the movies that show a small part of an important scene at the beginning as a teaser.
It's difficult to try it at home because I have a 3yo that is too impatient. She would love something like this, but also cause a big mess that will be impossible to clean.
