SCIENCE 2 - Reviewed cells and cell structure. David asked good questions about molecules and atoms, so when we were on line we looked at some diagrams of them. The subatomic particles are quarks, leptons and gluons - I never would have remembered that, but seeing it I knew I'd seen it before. They are really interested in cell division, particularly about how cells divided in utero, so I'm going to see what I can find on the subject.
SCIENCE K - We talked about the 3 types of matter again and today we focused on gases (lucky me...) We did experiments showing how gas is matter because you can move objects by blowing air, blowing air into a plastic bag (with different objects balanced on top - they got a kick out of that) and blowing air into water. We also put a bottle upside down into water to see how it didn't fill with water until we got the air out of it. They had fun with it and understand the concept. A book I reserved for the lesson came in today so we picked it up at the library on our way back to my house and they got to have a little adventure. FYI - I reserved the book on Tuesday so that didn't take long. It was a good day.
Have a good weekend. Rachelle
