Well, we just finish our math unit on area, perimeter and volume, so we are diving into science. My kids LOVE science because we do alot of experiments and exploring, and they like it when I get dramatic and tell them how we might all die if we mix the wrong chemicals, etc. (Even though we have never mixed chemicals, telling them this gets them into the right scientific mindset) Our new unit is all about animals, biomes and adaptation. To test our how adaption works, we simulated how certain beaks are better at eating certain foods. We used clothes pins (a Cardinal's beak) and popsicle sticks glued to clothes pins to simulate a Heron. We tested which beak, short and strong or long and thin, would do best with different types of foods(cut up drinking staw, etc.) Turns out, Heron beaks can go deep into sand, while cardinal beaks are good at crushing small things. And these decide where these lovely birds live!
But, I would have to say that the highlight of our day was definitely our video and song that we most definitely memorized, and sing throughout the day.
Enjoy, and please just remember that the camel's lashes are more dope than J. Lo's.
