Homeschool Summer Activities Spotlight Art Projects and STEM Ideas

Two recent guides provide families with seasonal learning ideas. One outlines a range of August art‑focused activities for homeschoolers, including astronomy projects tied to the Perseids meteor shower, creative lessons on historic dates such as the 19th Amendment, and hands‑on projects like chalking volcanoes or making homemade books. The other lists top summer STEM options, recommending free museum and library programs, DIY makerspaces using household scraps, virtual field trips to places like Antarctica, outdoor science experiments, citizen‑science projects, and fully online STEM courses.

Both resources aim to keep children engaged over the summer while preventing learning loss and encouraging creative and scientific exploration.
