Daily Report 9/22/09

Bible We read all about Jonah and his experience with Ninevah History We read from Hero Tales about the Judsons (the first foreign missionaries from America), and George Muller (ran a huge orphanage in England). Read Aloud Continued reading poems from "The Llama Who Had No Pajama" Handwriting One page from "A Reason for Handwriting". Science We finished reading about birds.  We also did a few experiments which I recorded. Experiment 1: This experiment included a hardboiled egg and a raw egg.  We spun the raw egg, stopped it, and let go.  The egg continued to slightly spin.  Then, with the hard boiled egg, we spun it, stopped it, and although it slightly wobbled, it did not spin. Experiment 2: 'A'  took a raw egg and lined it up lengthwise and tried to break it.  Using as much force as he could, he could not break it.  Then, 'R' took the egg, tapped it, we think he created a small crack or weakening of the shell, and see what happened... Experiment 3: We took some colored water and placed straws in the water.  We placed our thumb over the straw, creating a suction and trapping the water inside the straw.  The water was released only after we lifted our thumbs! The kids wanted to see if the colored water tasted like anything.  Conclusion: Nothing Experiment 4: We took a paper towel, crumpled it up into a cup, and placed the cup upside down in a bowl of water.  The air inside the cup prevented the napkin from getting wet.  But, when we placed the cup in at an angle, the water displaced the air and soaked the paper towel!
