Since my two girls(13 and 9) have been learning from home these last two months, while my better half and I work from home, we have begun to get creative with some of the school lessons and projects. We work out what the next day’s lessons are during dinner the evening before, and back in late March, my oldest suggested we build up a frame as a project. Sadly, I had a frame that would work out well, but wanted to figure out how to make this more than just a ‘keep busy’ project for them, so it took some time to come up with ways to learn while doing the project. Much of this learning falls under the ‘practical life’ and ‘STEM’ subjects.
goals are...
- Learn to braze
- Apply paint
- Continue to learn how bike components interact
- Lessons on gear ratios
- Lessons on laws of motion
- Practice listening to your father!
We are now in the early stages, call it 30% done, and here is a thread to show the process.
