SCIENCE
Prepped a chicken bone for next week's experiment.
Read about rivers, water filtration, dirty rivers, and hydroelectric power stations.
In the teacher's manual it suggested for us to use a carton but all we had was a juice jug. D pourted 3" of rocks/gravel on the bottom, then poured 3" of sand on top, once completed he poured water in the jug. We saw how the water went through the sand and rocks, and somewhat came out clear. It was a bit muddy but helped him get a better understanding of water filtration.
Read all about our joints and the ways they work.
After reading about our spine and how it worked the book suggested we make our own with cardboard and spools. Didn't have any spools and saw on Pinterest someone did one using egg carton, felt, and pipe cleaners. The kids made their own and really enjoyed this activity. Especially excited to tell their dad about how their spine work and show him using their example. The felt represents the discs in our back.
Got a better understanding of our skeleton, joints, ad sockets. K built her skeleton, hand and foot bones, and joints which she glued to card stock to make it stable.
Very proud of her hard work.
Kids got out their miniature skeleton to get a better look of our bones.
Made a copy of the skeleton in the book for D to make his own puppet. He carried it everywhere with him and kept saying "I'm holding my bones in my hand".
ART
Lesson 159: Drawing the Human Figure
MUSIC/VIDEOS
Listened to "The Story of Mozart" and then watched a video on YouTube on a brief history of Mozart.
Watched a video on our Brain Pop App about our skull.
How our bones move.
River pollution
Sci Show Kids on the Skeleton System
Story Bots about our Bones in Your Body
FIELD TRIP/EVENTS
Took a trip to Greenbrier State Park in Maryland with the family, to explore a new area that a co-worker told my husband about. It was a man made beach, very beautiful and peaceful area.
D loved every minute we were at the park and enjoyed playing in the park before playing in the water.
K has always loved the water and loved every second of today. She can't stop talking about the day and how much fun she was having.
CONCLUSION
It has been a wonderful week of learning about Jesus ascending into Heaven, Pentecost, Peter and John healing a lame man, early believers, apostles persecuted, and Cornelius. Read about Galen, Nicon, Euclid, Archimedes, Plato, and Aristotle. Learned about our skeleton, bones, joints, and support system.
