MFW Adventures Week 16: RI, VT, Daniel Boone

We used two weeks over Christmas and New Year to finish week 16. But with illnesses in the family and all, we didn't do that much.

SCIENCE

Cold air shrinks (we didn't get to do hot air expands, but we did do the pingpong trick before)

Hot air rises, cold air sinks (didn't work very well)

Rhode Island

This is a great book, easy to finish within 10 mins.

Vermont
God helped us to HAPPEN to have a bottle of VT maple syrup. So cool.

And we watched videos of how maple syrup is made and also a video of Franklin (the turtle) and maple syrup. Fun.

This is a WONDERFUL book! Esp for Ian who is learning to use the camera.

DANIEL BOONE
We found the lapbook here and really appreciate it!

Really like the idea of Immanuel from this. We memorized the verse well and it was so fitting right after Christmas to memorize this.

Online Resources: Sesame Street Games

I love the Sesame Street Games ...I think they are the best for preschoolers. They teach important concepts, at the same time, making computer skills real easy. For eg, there is no "click and drag"...that's hard for them...there's "click" "move" "click". There are some games Ian really likes...(click on photo for the games) That's the Wheels on the Bus song (you press the keys foe interactive movements) Patterns. Seasons. Fun for the kids. Walking the dogs...numbers. This is alltime favorite. First you make a pitcher of lemonade. Then depending on how many monsters come, you click however many cups. I love it!

Science 2015/2016: Human Body Recap

We really had fun learning about the Human Body this year. I thought it would be meaningful to consolidate our learning. We enjoyed the Body Book more than I thought we would. I did do most of the cutting though. We also enjoyed the different videos we watched and the experiments. I think this is the most successful science year yet. The five senses Tongue the Ear The Skin The Eye Skeleton Joints Long Bone Tooth Brains Spinal Cord Digestive System Stomach The Lungs The Heart The Urinary System The Muscle Look through all our experiments and videos here .
