The Wonder of Natural Sciences in Waldorf Schools: Video
May 7, 2018

What makes the Waldorf approach to science education so special, and so effective? Early childhood and grades students begin their scientific exploration by observing and experiencing the whole — watching seeds grow into food, raising salmon eggs while learning about their life cycle, creating a comprehensive animal report that includes both ecological and cultural research. In these early years, the tools for this scientific study come from nature, and encourage curiosity and interest in the world around them. By middle school, students begin to break down the phenomena they experience into questions. How do basic machines work? Why can’t I see the colors of light except through a prism?

48-hour screen-time experiment: What happens when kids have no limits
March 28, 2018
Every parent I know complains about the battle: Being the screen police with their kids. How much screen time? When can the kids have it? And how do you get them to power off when their time limit is up. The dream is that kids will self-regulate their screen time and turn the devices off after a moderate amount of use. But how far from that reality are we? The Harding family of Menlo Park, California, decided they would try to find out. More »
