8th: Today we started in on our water rocket build project. I expect all my kids to bring in a pop bottle around 16-20-24 ounces in order to build a water rocket. They are to design and build one that flies high and straight. I have a launch pad and everything else to build with, but if they want to work on it at home they can.
7th: Today we started modeling forces in the Earth’s crust by using clay as our medium. It was loud, messy and fun so I guess it worked. Tomorrow we’ll work through the section guided reading.
