3D earth

Nate has his first true science project complete!  He had to make a 3D model of the layers of the earth. 

He did all the work - with only limited guidance from me. (Mostly PowerPoint and printing help.). 

I'm pretty proud of how hard he worked on this. I think you can tell by the photos that he is too. 

The cards are a "key" with information about each layer of the earth. 

Science Experiments for a Rainy Day

Nate loves to do science experiments. So on his first school book order, we picked a science experiment book. It has over 50 science experiments, so we should have activities for quite some time! Today, Nate and I stayed home while Tom took Nile to Galesburg. So I let him pick three science experiments from his new book.

Mixing up the vinegar and soap mixture.

We also did an experiment with carbonated water and raisins, then Nate picked one with liquids of different densities.
