Teach kids science at home with AI help

Science is a key subject that all children will need to master but teaching it can be intimidating for parents who aren’t scientists themselves. Don’t worry–AI companion, Copilot in Microsoft Edge can take the stress out of teaching kids about topics like the scientific method and the workings of the natural world. Copilot in Edge offers a range of tools and features that make learning science fun and engaging for both parents and children.

How to use Copilot

Copilot is a powerful tool that you can access right from your Edge browser. Just click on the Copilot icon in the top right of your browser and type your questions or “prompts” into the compose field. Copilot provides instant access to a wealth of scientific information and resources. You can ask Copilot to explain complex scientific concepts in simple terms, find educational videos, and even generate quizzes to test your child’s understanding. This makes it easier for parents to provide accurate and engaging science lessons without needing to be experts themselves.

Research complex scientific concepts in minutes

Traditional ways of researching—going to the library, poring through web searches—can be time consuming, but Copilot simplifies this process. You can ask Copilot to gather information on various science topics, such as the solar system, ecosystems, or chemical reactions. Copilot can summarize articles, highlight key points, provide visual aids like diagrams and charts, and even create lesson plans. This helps parents quickly understand the material and present it in a way that is accessible and interesting to their children.

Create engaging hands-on lessons

One of the best ways to teach science is through hands-on experiments and projects. Copilot can help you design and plan these activities. For example, you can ask Copilot for ideas on simple experiments that demonstrate scientific principles, such as creating a volcano with baking soda and vinegar or growing crystals. Copilot can provide step-by-step instructions, safety tips, and explanations of the science behind each experiment. This makes it easy for parents to set up fun and educational activities that spark their children’s curiosity and love for science.

Sample questions or “prompts”

Here are some sample prompts you can use with Copilot to enhance your science teaching at home:

• “Explain the water cycle in simple terms for a 10-year-old.”
• “Find a video that shows how plants grow from seeds.”
• “What are some fun science experiments we can do with household items?”
