Hands on Teaching of Gravity

The Perfect Way to teach Gravity


So, Today for our family time... We chose the Fair.... Yay, we are all excited. Of course my brain begins to  go into,  "How can I take this opportunity to teach them something related to homeschool?" So I thought really really hard... Yeah , did not come up with anything. Until, my sons went on the Gravitron. It was like a light bulb, (You know like from Despicable Me, hehe) I was trying to make a visualization for them of the importance of gravity on our planet and why God created gravity in the first place. Both of my boys are visual hands on learners; they retain the information better with some sort of media or direct interaction. I tried to so hard to explain the concept of gravity and I thought that they grabbed a hold of it, but it did not click in their brains till tonight when they rode the Gravitron..... God is so good! He used this opportunity to reinforce the teaching on gravity. 
As the boys were riding, they were unable to have full mobility of their limbs (arms and legs).. They were stuck to the wall... hahahaha.. ( I can think of times where I could use this machine, but I won't go there...lol). Then, they continued to try to move their heads as well, no success. I explained to them the concept once again, and they understood it so well.  Of course, after that we had so much fun.... the teaching part of my brain shut off, well sort of.

Even though I may think my children are not able to grasp a concept as soon as I explain it......it does not mean that God will not step in and do it for you! God is so good.. Let us not worry for our children are in good hands and as long as we allow God to be involved in our lives , He will make things happen. Here are a few photos of our adventure today..




Family time is the best tool in teaching your children the way of life. This teaching surpasses all homeschooling.. Learning the values of family togetherness and the reason God created a family is the key to relationships. Remember, you are always being watched by your children.. show them the best choices and they will reflect it.
