Science Class...Technology Day

We here at Peregrin House made batteries today! Mango taught the 5th in a series of 6 homeschool science classes to Mane and a group of friends. They all tested out something different about the battery-making process. Some changed amounts of chemical. Others changed which chemicals they were using. They all got some practice recording independent and dependent variables, and they'll be graphing their results!

Jr. Park Naturalist

When we went camping in June, Mane picked up her first Jr. Park Naturalist book. (I would link to the program, but the government is currently shut down, and that means the state park website is also shut down!! Here's a link to another website about the program: Craft Fairs and Shows.)

We went camping again this past weekend, and she spent some time working through the book, drawing and writing about plants and animals, habitats and conservation.


Once again, she had a little shadow...

Mango teaches a summer science class...

So, I met this awesome group of women (and children) at a folk dancing class for homeschoolers this past spring, and a few short months later my husband is teaching a science class for all our children! It's been a totally new and energizing experience for him, and the kiddos are all having fun with science!

Get a whiff of that sulpher...
