ed our boy's Science club. At the last session, my son did a presentation on how the pyramids were build using simple machines. We watched a Nova episode called "This Old Pyramid." The boys loved it and it sparked several great discussions. So, I thought it might be fun to do this with regularity.
Here's my rub. I would rather they be reading books than watching a video. Now, two of the four moms do these clubs for the social aspect more than anything else. So, I solicit your advice. Do I do a video club or not? Here's the plan. Let me know what you think:
