Avilene ate blueberry bagel and two servings of peaches for breakfast. For lunch she ate two large servings of hamburger & sausage pizza with olives, tomato sauce, pineapple, and peppers. She had a couple bites of whole wheat pizza crust that we serve on the side and a serving of pineapple on the side.
This first picture is left over from yesterday afternoon. Avi and Atley like to work together and drag the kids around on the parachute. At this time Svea was the only other one here so it worked pretty good! You better hang on Svea. When they turned corners Svea kind of got rolled up like a burrito. :)
Thursday; Science with Lauralea!! Today's theme is "stuff that dissolves." So what does "dissolve" mean? No answers, so we had to define that first. We had several cups with water and everyone tried something different and stirred. I think this is most of them: flour, sugar, corn starch, salt, Himalayan pink salt, toothpaste, yeast, creamer, brown sugar, instant coffee, granulated onion, tea, cinnamon, crushed animal crackers, baking soda, and arrowroot powder. Whew!! That's a lot of stuff!! Ha. About half of these items were soluble.
Next we did an experiment with Vinegar. Vinegar is basically an acid, but a safe acid. So we tried an experiment that will take some time to see the results! Two different cups with vinegar; into one cup we put a "sea shell." Into the other cup we put "egg shell." We had a boiled egg and the kids remembered how to determine if an egg is boiled or not. "Spin it" they said. Good job of remembering!!
Last two pictures; We did another bottle full of water and sparkles that they chose. This was basically not relevant to the dissolving experiments, but they enjoy having something to take home. :)
