OKTA Grids and inspired learning

A great thing about home educating your kids, you're always learning new things too!

We have just found out about OKTA grids in a great example of child led/inspired learning. Mia was looking through a new magazine we have subscribed to and decided to look them up online. There she found some interesting games and also some printable experiments. Bingo! Button pressed, paper printing.

An OKTA grid is used in meteorology to asses cloud coverage and use it for forecasting. We followed the instructions and went to have a look!
We talked about different types of cloud, are going to take thing further with more weather experiments and see going to head to the library to look for books too.
