Oddball Facts to Intrigue Children & Adults
|
My first thought was "who really wants to know all this stuff?" The book comes with an hourglass (actually a minute-glass)and is filled with umpteen activities that can take place in a sixty seconds. This kind of trivia fascinates kids, especially boys. I must admit that as an adult, I found it pretty intriguing too.
Did you know that a woodpecker raps its beak against a tree 100 times a minute? How about 6,000 lightning bolts flicker across the sky each minute (living in Florida, I can believe that one)?
This has nature, history, and sociology all reduced to 60 second segments. Sounds like a good way to get kids curious.
To enhance the learning experience, it includes some games and activities that take 60 seconds (like timing the wags of your dog's tail). Might encourage an interest in math too. Cute illustrations too. |
