This book will help one think through, plan and execute lessons without having to have a fully equipped science lab and without having to have group experiences. In this book, we also give instructions and inspiration for how to create a Simple Machines main lesson, based entirely in the home and surrounding neighbourhood (the playground, for instance). Though this main lesson does not usually feature in Waldorf schools, the concepts and experiences in it do, over the years. We pulled this together and have made a special ‘For Homeschoolers’ main lesson, based on solid Waldorf pedagogy. It also includes full instructions for black and white charcoal drawing, an important part of the Waldorf sixth grade curriculum. In schools, these lessons are usually held separately from physics lessons and are based upon what the children have experienced in studying the phenomena of darkness and light. At home you can choose when to include such lessons. Full instructions are included.
