It’s time for the Olympics. I don’t spend a lot of time watching them, but my husband does (and our youngest).

If you check around online you can find some great digital activities to go with. It’s amazing how much science is actually involved with sports. I Can Teach My Child has a free ebook that includes Olympic Activities for kids.
This FREE eBook includes:
- A List of Books about the Olympics
- A Gold Medal Map Guide
- 6 Unique Olympic Crafts
- 6 Fun Olympic Games & Activities
- 3 Delicious Olympic-Inspired Snacks
I also found a great page with information about What are Olympic Medals made of? It turns out there are a lot of rules involved in the percentages, thickness and so on.

I am a SAHM/WAHM of three boys ranging in age from 16 to 32. We are working on saving enough for college at the same time as dealing with school and our older independent kids. I author a few blogs, including http://teched4kids.com. I have in the past taught computer information technology classes for the local university and taught workshops for kid's in technology education besides being the Kentucky State FIRST LEGO League Championship Coordinator from 2005 to 2008. I now work as a computer consultant, run a handmade home business, and am available for workshops. Life here is always an adventure!
