Injecting Science into Your Weekly Schedule When your children are young, you want to do everything that you can to help
foster their passions, whether that means taking your little boy to dance lessons because he wants to be the next Billy Elliot or helping your child develop their
love of science by doing experiments in the household. Fortunately, we live in an era where promoting a STEM education is valued like never before and we have
the resources to bring entertaining science lessons to kids. Here are a few people whose material is already out there on YouTube and can help to introduce science to your children.
Science Bob Pflugfelder
One of the most accessible people out there in the world of science is a teacher
that goes by the name Science Bob Pflugfelder. Science Bob has been featured on
multiple TV shows, which is where he has made a name for himself by presenting
fun and funny experiments that you can do at home with your family. He takes out the lecturing and focuses on creating a spectacle. Searching YouTube, you
can find Science Bob’s appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where he has done
dozens of cool experiments that you can watch. More importantly, you can visit his website, where he encourages Random Acts of Science for parents and
teachers. These pages give instructions to recreate his experiments, so you can try them out at home.
Bill Nye the Science Guy
The first guy that ever taught me that “Science Rules!” is still kicking in the world of climate change. However, those that want to relive the glory of the most
entertaining teacher we all ever had are able to access the same videos you
probably watched on VHS tapes as a student. A large portion of Bill Nye’s episodes
have been made available in full via YouTube, where you can go and see if the
lessons still hold up. For those that grew up on Bill Nye and are now reaching the age where they are parents, this could be a fun way to share the thing that you
loved in school with your kids. It might not go as well as when you shared Cobra Kai with them, but it will definitely be better than when you tried sharing the Jaden Smith Karate Kid.
Mark Rober
This was one of the first guys that made me regret my decision to study business and writing in college and wish that I had focused on science and engineering. Mark Rober is a former NASA engineer and current father who uses his
incredible brain to develop novelty out of science. He is somewhat known for
being a bit of a prankster, creating things that are meant for fun more than they are meant to add value to the world. In one video, he built a dart board that
moves when you throw at it, so you get a perfect bullseye every time. It might not sound like much when I try to explain it in words, but seeing is believing and he will make you into a believer.
