Homeschool Has Begun Again!

This year for science we are doing chemistry.  Mom's favorite. :)  Specifically, we are learning about atoms and molecules.  Little One is really enjoying it too.  Here are a couple of the experiments we've done so far.

First we learned what atoms and molecules are and then we made some with colored marshmallows.

Here we learned that molecules move faster than cold ones.

Is there space between molecules?  Why yes, there is!

We are also very lucky to be able to get together with a group of homeschooled kids every week.  We've had a get together day and then our first official day of classes so far.  We will be studying a different subject every month.  September is the human body.  The fun thing is that she does karate with a couple of these kids too.

The kids tie dyed shirts.

Little One and Hunter playing with soap bubbles made from dry ice.

Dry ice filled bubbles!

Of course, we had to do the classic "coke and mentos" fountains.

Zip line fun!

Muscles and how they work.

The digestion process.

Seeing how much grass a cow stomach can hold.

The 5 senses.

Here are the kids (minus one who wasn't there) with their tie dyed shirts!

I wish I'd looked at my camera settings first so I'd known they weren't quite right.  Cute kids anyway though. :)
