Science!

Andrew is full of great ideas these days. A few days ago, he suggested we add Nutella to our Peanut Butter and Rice Cake snack - a delicious suggestions! And this morning he suggested we have a "science afternoon" after school.

Amanda and I were heading to the library anyway, so while we were there, I found a book about states of matter. It is what Scott is studying in Science this 9-weeks.

Our first experiment was to see whether water moves from one vessel to another. We used muddy water, so our first step was to gather dirt.


We added the water and set it on a book. We placed a cup on the counter and connected them with a white cloth. Sure enough, within a few hours, we saw the water was moving from one cup to another. So cool!

We also looked at ice (solid) and water vapor (gas) in several other experiments. Working with the kids is so much fun!
