Starting School Back Up

After a 3 week moving break, it was time for Justin to start school again. We had lots of fun activities to make it exciting :)

We learned about polymers...

Inserting a sharp stick into a balloon without making it pop...will it work?!

What?! It's working! 

Wow, look at that! He got the stick all the way through the balloon! 

He made his own bouncy ball

And he dissolved styrofoam cups with acetone

We also visited a local nature center and learned lots about local plants and animals.

Abby was fascinated with the snakes and turtles. Here is Abby petting a Fox Snake 

Abby loved holding the painted turtle 

(until it startled her and she threw it across the room haha!) 

And then more science...Justin is making a smoke bomb!

The infamous Mentos in Diet Cola trick 

Testing the acidity of  various substances

Most of the leaves have already gone. The season changed so quickly!
