Medieval Chemistry and Homeschool History. Science wasn't really dead during the Middle Age, it's just people fanaticized about turning items to gold.
Obviously, these plans are in the early stages. I am going to be a CC tutor for the first time next year (our second CC year) and want to be fully prepared! My goal is to spend the summer planning little by little so that during the actual CC school year I can just focus on the execution. HISTORY SENTENCE Middle Ages for Kids - lots of info made simple Love this art activity from Deep Space Sparkle: This would be great for both Merrick and possibly the twins. Very cool - web site where kids can explore a castle. Merrick would LOVE this funny video about all the kings and queens of England starting with William the Conqueror. Must watch! GEOGRAPHY I really like the two ideas below for sea craft ideas from Tonya at Make and Takes. ENGLISH Poor Daffy Duck learns that not knowing your pronouns can get you in trouble! (Warning: Elmer Fudd does use his gun in this clip.) Pocket full of pronouns from Teacher Bits and Bobs Free pronoun printable and interactive chart with Teachers Pay Teachers ART Let's Learn about Symmetry from All Things Heart and Home. I remember doing this same kind of project with a butterfly when I was a young girl and I LOVED it. Here is a symmetrical butterfly art project that is just a bit more advanced for kids that are just a bit older. It's from Deep Space Sparkle, one of my favorite go-to sites for art resources for kids. SCIENCE It's been tough trying to find games or activities surrounding consumers. The kids did like watching this video over my shoulder however (especially the part where the elephant puts an entire pumpkin in his mouth): Several links to some food chain games here at Mrs. Thompson's class blog. That's it for now! I should mention...this is just a list of resources and ideas. We don't actually complete all of these activities. In a typical day, we have a Bible lesson, review the CC memory work, do phonics and math, and (perhaps) complete one craft activity or game that correlates to our memory work. We also spend time reading together. Merrick will be in the 2nd grade starting Fall 2013. The twins will be 4 years old. Aside from the Bible lesson, I do not expect any thing from the twins in regard to their formal education. If they choose to join us, they may. If they do not want to participate, they may play independently. I'm linking up to the Cycle 2 Weekly Link Up Page on Half-a-Hundred Acre Wood blog. It is one of the most helpful blogs there is for CC parents!

This moon phase board was fairly easy to make. After making a run to the Dollar Tree and rummaging through our science storeroom to collect the needed supplies to make this, it was pretty inexpensive and so worth every penny! Essentially, this Moon Phase board allows students to visualize and better understand the cause of moon phases and comprehend the 2 different views that are often given on a diagram (view from space and view from the Earth). Up to this point, I've done a Lunar Lollipop Investigation, which I thought was great, but this beats it by a long shot! A large majority of my students don't really understand why the lit part of the moon doesn't face the sun on part of the view as seen from Earth on every moon phase diagram (see below). Even though I give many different examples and explanations, I still see a puzzled look on several of the students' faces. I really think this method will clear it up for even those puzzled kiddos. From this angle (see below), students can quickly see that the lit part of the moon is always the side of the ball that is facing the sun. Pretty uneventful, but definitely clarifies this view. But as students take the Moon Board and place their head through the hole, they are immediately taken to the view from Earth (their head being Earth or it could be explained that we LOOK out from Earth and see the moon as it revolves around the Earth). In order to give you a clearer idea of what the students will see, I placed my camera in the hole and continually rotated the board around counterclockwise (direction of the moon's revolution around the Earth). Here, you can see the new moon. Followed by the waxing crescent. The first quarter. Then waxing gibbous. Full moon Waning gibbous Third/Last quarter (oopsy....this ball got a little tilted when I glued it down) And finally, waning crescent. I have chosen to leave each phase unlabeled for my 8th graders. I provide each group with 8 Post-It Notes and have them write each moon phase name on a Post-it. They simply stick the Post-It in the correct location and call me over to check it. I am thinking about making one Moon Board with labels for my SpEd and ELL students until they get more comfortable with the names. To make your own, you will need the following supplies: Black foam board (got mine at Dollar Tree for $1) Box cutter Circular shaped object to cut around (I just turned my office trashcan upside down and started cutting!) 8 ball shaped objects to represent moon (ideas: ping pong balls [use black sharpie], Styrofoam balls (paint with black acrylic paint and sponge brush, wooden balls, etc....) Hot glue gun 1 ball to represent the Sun (larger than moon ball) This is optional; you could always just write "Sun" on one side of the board with a paint pen, but I think the added visual is great! Since I didn't have these made when I taught moon phases earlier in the year, I am going to use them when we begin to review for the state assessment. I can't wait to hear the oohs and aahs and FINALLY see the looks of confusion go away.

We're doing a lot of science this summer and I love it. Okay, who cares if I love it, right?!? Well, the good news is, the boys love it too. This 5-minute experiment is impressive and inexpensive (say that tongue-twister 5 times fast!). What You Need 10 quarters (or more/less) a finger a flat surface What to Do Stack all but one quarter in a tower on a flat surface. Place the one remaining quarter on the same surface 3-6 inches from the tower. Now flick it across the surface using your middle finger, shooting for the bottom of the tower. (This is the hardest part as aiming can be tricky.) What Happens The coin you flicked slams into the bottom coin and pushes it out. Surprisingly though, the tower of remaining coins stay stacked neatly. How it Works Newton's First Law of Motion (sometimes called the law of inertia) is at work. It states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion. The coin you set in motion stays in motion pushing the bottom coin in its path, with the stacked coins above it remain in place because they have enough inertia to prevent them from moving.

We were making ice the other day for once of our science projects and Jake asked how the water turns to a solid. So I was explaining to him that water freeze when it is below 32 degrees, like when it was winter outside and we placed our Fruit ice project outside and it froze. So that got me thinking that it would be a great time to compare liquid, gas and solids. I saw this great experiment at Fit Kids Cludhouse using balloons. Fun and easy for a preschooler to understand the difference. We took 3 balloons and filled them up with Gas, liquid and solids. Then we compared the 3 balloons. To fill the balloon with gas see our Bottle blowing balloon experiment. Then add water to 2 balloons. 1 water balloon place in the freeze overnight, that is how you get the solid. Then compare the 3 balloons. What Jake said about each: Gas....light weight, floats a little when you try to throw it, hard to break on the grown unless you stomp on it. Liquid...heavier then the gas balloon, but lighter then the solid, when you throw it up it pops and water is everywhere, easy to squeeze Solid...hard when you try to squeeze, when you throw it breaks to pieces, the heaviest of the 3 balloons. The kids had the best time breaking the water and ice balloons. We love science play and learning be sure to check out our Science Board Thanks for stopping by to see what fun stuff we are doing.
