Oops... did not blog on Friday! We were happy to make it one full week. So far, so good. Jason did a science experiment on chemical reactions, and part of it was the reaction between vinegar and baking soda. Trying to be smart, I decided he should conduct that one in my kitchen disposal so it could be cleaned at the same time. Cleaning + Science= happy. (Maybe I will devise a homeschool science curriculum in which all the experiments/ projects involve something that directly helps with a household chore.) My camera decided not to work so no pictures were taken on Friday.
Today, my husband is off and was supposed to help Joel with his science experiment but due to helping a friend with a move to the beach that has gone awry, is still not home and thus the show had to go on. Luckily, Jason finished up early as is often the case since he never has any "Work with Mom" workboxes and can go so much quicker. So after I walked Joel through the stages of the scientific method, Jason helped him construct two gliders to test the effect of wing size and distance traveled.
