How to help at home
Ask for predictions before an experiment, then talk about whether they were right. Sort household objects by what a magnet picks up. Track the weather or the Moon for a week on paper and look for the pattern.Source: Texas Education Agency, Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, 19 TAC §112.5.
