🔨🎓 Blacksmithing in Homeschool: A Step-by-Step Guide 🛠️📚
Today in our homeschool workshop, we explored the art of blacksmithing, starting from the very basics to more complex techniques. Here’s a peek into our educational journey with metal!
👉 Step 1: Learning with Playdough
First, we used playdough to understand how the hammer impacts material. This simple activity is great for young learners to grasp the basics of molding and shaping.
👉 Step 2: Advancing to Copper
With a solid understanding of basic techniques, we moved on to copper—a malleable yet more challenging material. Here, she learned about material resistance and further honed her hammering skills.
👉 Step 3: Observational Learning at the Forge
We capped off the day with a demonstration at the forge, observing the transformation of metal with heat. This was a safe, hands-off experience to introduce the principles of heating and metal dynamics.
📸 Swipe to see today’s hands-on learning and the incredible progress made!
Each step in today’s lesson was designed to build on previous skills, illustrating the power of progressive learning in homeschooling. By starting simple and gradually increasing complexity, we ensure that foundational concepts are mastered before moving on to more advanced topics. 🎨🔥 #HomeschoolingSuccess #CraftingEducation #LearningByDoing #FamilyEducation
