Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Whether you are a watch lover or collector, you will know that automatic watches benefit from being used rather than being left idle as they will slow down and stop eventually! This is where watch winders come to the rescue to prevent your favourite watch from deteriorating.
Have you grown a bit tired of the appearance of your home? We all get to this stage from time to time. However, we tend to assume that a huge redecoration project is required, and so we don’t do much about it. Nevertheless, there are plenty of easy ways you can completely change the look and feel of your home. Here are some suggestions.
STEM is so important for everyone because it pervades every part of our lives. We are so lucky to have a better understanding of STEM and have greater opportunities to explore the world than what the older generation had.
We were so excited to have received these STEM activity books from Carlton Books for my children. These four books are STEM Activity: Sensational Science, STEM Activity: Terrific Technology, STEM Activity: Extreme Engineering and STEM Activity: Amazing Maths.
When I was young, I only had one chance to get hands-on in school to make a simple battery circuit to power a light bulb. Our school did very minimal technology projects with us and both my parents were not academically well-educated so we never had a chance to explore technology and science at home either. I am so glad that my parents pushed me very hard to learn well in school though, so that now I can help my children spark their creative imagination using hands-on technology.
We had previously made our own buzz wire game and also a simple circuit, thanks to the help of an engineer friend. However, some of these items were not very well protected which could have been hazardous for the children, or even me!
A few weeks ago, we had fun learning through educational STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) focused activities at home. One of the science activities was to learn about tornadoes and we have been provided with this Tornado Maker kit which is suitable for ages 5 and above.
This coming Friday 6th March, I will be taking part in Blaze and the Monster Machines Twitter Party along with other bloggers to learn through educational STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) focussed activities at home and share our activities from our parties.
We tend to have this image of what old people are and what they want, that often involves this like tea, gingham patterns, dog that don’t require too much exercise, pretty standard stuff. Is this the right image though? It may be for some, but that fact is that we’re constantly seeing a new generation of elderly people, who grew up with different needs and ambitions. Combine this with the ever increasing speed at which technology advances and you end up with elderly people who actually want tech to be part of their lives and not just for the under 50s.
