Science Lesson

Sorry I didn't post what we did here, I was on the phone when I posted these pictures. But, I think I kinda like you guess what we were trying to do!

I am going through a 10 week series I got from Usborne Books a couple of summers ago. My friend was selling the books, and I wanted to help her out so I thought I would try it, but then it was a little over their heads. I like it b/c I can condense, or add to info depending on how much they seem to understand it! I think I will probably go through it again, the next couple of years more in depth. I love how the package set comes with about 5 books, and they are loaded with information, so you can really extend it further than 10 weeks.

Here, we made a model arm connecting it with a brad to demonstrate how joints work. The next lesson we are adding rubber bands and something for tendons and muscles.
