Wed history and science

Another good day. We just missed Harrison :( , but were glad to see Quinn :). The kids all got along well and the distractions were minimal.

History - we talked about nomads - the wandering people. They enjoyed talking about how these people got their food and what they ate. We didn't get to read more than headlines, but we looked at a book that shows foods that people have eaten from the beginning of time and talks about how bugs and such were enjoyable.

Science - 1st lesson was on the scientific method, question, hypothesis, seeing how to test the hypothesis, recording what happens and seeing what actually happened. We melted popsicles outside in the sun and shade and tested which one would melt faster. Then of course we tasted the testers.

2nd lesson was on graphing data, making sure to write down so you don't forget, tally marks. We graphed the different colored M & Ms and of course tasted our materials.


We got through everything. I think they weren't so much concentrating on all the terms throughout the science lessons though. I think they will be reminded in the following lessons though.
