MFW: 1850 to MT and ECC Week 3

 MFW: 1850 to MT AND ECC WEEK 3

For this week things will be a bit different so we have a pretty packed schedule.  We'll be doubling our work on Monday and Wednesday of this week, Tuesday we will have STEAM class and then hang out with friends, and on Wednesday we will also do double the work since Thursday we will be driving to Kentucky.  Although our week will be busy the kids actually prefer to do double the work so they can have more free time.  Plus whatever we don't finish we can just finish next week, joys of homeschooling the flexibility.  This week we will learn about Queen Victoria, the British in India, Sepoy Mutiny, Crimean War, charge of light brigade, and Millard Fillmore.  Read about moving matter, liquid motion, going gas, moving atoms, solid matter, state of matter, expanding and escaping air, compressed gas, and gas to liquid to solid to liquid to gas.  Discuss the meaning of the book of Matthew, parts of a tree, review the continents, read a lot about America, Dwight L. Moody, and forests.
