Science Review, Part 1

What a winter we've had, and it's not over yet!  Another winter storm is predicted to hit this weekend.  If it does, and conditions are right, I hope to go out and play in the snow with my family.  I missed out on all the sledding due to illness, and as much as I ache for Spring, it is still Winter so I might as well enjoy it as much as possible.

Since I haven't posted much this year, I'm going to do a little backtracking, mostly in the way of science, but there may be a few other things sprinkled in here and there.

In Science, we've done lots of experiments mostly using two books: 100 Science Experiment and The World of Science.  I'll let the pictures speak mostly for themselves.

Water expands when it freezes...

Heat energy and weight cuts an ice cube in half...

Orange juice slushy...

Gooey slime...

Color separation...

Chemical reactions...

DNA (Apologia General Science co-op class)...

The slushy was a big hit and worked so well.  I was skeptical because only about half of our experiments pan out.  I'm glad this is one that worked for us!

Isn't science fun?
