Exciting News for Young Scientists!
I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my Junior Science Explorer Curriculum, designed for children aged 5-11 year old (tailored to their abilities).

Exploring Gravity: A Fun-Filled Learning Day
Today’s short course was all about understanding gravity, and it turned out to be an exciting mix of learning, creativity, and hands-on activities! The session started with an engaging discussion on what gravity is and why it’s so important in our everyday lives. From holding us to the ground to keeping objects from floating away, gravity became a fascinating topic to explore.
One of the highlights was a creative writing exercise where we imagined a world without gravity. Tayo particularly enjoyed this, coming up with imaginative scenarios of floating cities, flying cars, and people swimming through the air like fish. The exercise sparked laughter and lively discussions as everyone shared their gravity-free worlds. Tayo surprised us all with a much deeper understanding of gravity than I had anticipated, which led to a really great in-depth conversation. Tayo even took the opportunity to teach the younger ones through interactive play, explaining concepts in a way that kept everyone engaged.
Meanwhile, Kumba and Kebba joined in on the action-packed experiments. Together, we jumped, measured, and tested gravity’s pull by dropping various objects from a height. From small pebbles to heavier items, the group had fun predicting how fast each object would fall and seeing gravity in action.
The activities made learning about gravity interactive and memorable, showing that science can be as fun as it is educational. By the end of the day, everyone walked away with a better understanding of how gravity shapes our lives—and a big smile from all the fun we had along the way!
This fun and educational program includes hands-on projects that are approximately 2/3 hours each, covering:
• Gravity: Students will learn about gravity’s effects on Earth and beyond, and its role in daily life.
• The Water Cycle: Students will understand evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection, and why the water cycle is essential for life.
• Electricity: Students will discover what electricity is, how it flows, and its importance in our daily lives.
• Exploring the Solar System: Students will explore the structure of the solar system, learn about the planets, and understand the vital role of the sun.
At the end of each course, students receive fun, confidence-boosting certificates like “Junior Electrician,” “Junior Physicist,” “Junior Astronomer,” and “Junior Hydrologist” to celebrate their achievements as budding scientists.
I’m also making this curriculum and the certificates available for download on my website for any teachers or educators who’d like to use them. Feel free to share and use these thrive homeschool academy resources to inspire the next generation of scientists!
Let’s nurture curiosity and a love for learning together! 🌟
