More High School Science
Posted in Science
My High School Student has also been busy with Science, she is using Apologia Physical Science, and there are SO many labs that I should have tons of pictures of really wonderful experiments. Unfortunately, she usually does the experiments on her own or with her dad when I am at work. Too bad because I really enjoy helping with them and snapping photos.
A couple of weeks ago I was actually home for one of the experiments, not only that, I video taped it! 
The point of the experiment was to once again use a nine volt battery to separate the hydrogen and oxygen from water. What was different from LAST TIME was that this time we had to collect the gases each in in a different test tube. After awhile we compared the amounts of the gases in the test tubes. There was more hydrogen than oxygen because a water molecule has two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen.
In this first video clip I was shooting as close as possible on the test tubes so we could see the gases rising out of the water.
Well, I wanted my daughter to express what was going on herself, because I think we retain more when we have to put it in our words. Note that I had changed where I was shooting from, the test tube that was on the left before, is the one on the right in this shot. (Also, sorry that the video lags behind the audio... it only does that here on this blog, not when I play it on my home PC. I don't know why it's doing it here). So here she is explaining what was happening:

How neat. I was thinking about trying to video tape my daughter's explanations of her projects at some point. I don't know how to get it on the computer, but maybe someday!

I love sharing the experience through your video's. You have inspired me to try adding video's. I don't have very much computer knowledge so it may take some time. OK, a lot of time....

It looks like you're enjoying it. High school science has been a struggle here... We're in apologia Biology... My high schooler just does not like science. My next one is more into it so I'm looking forward to then, I think he'll really get into it.

A record of our homeschooling journey (and my random thoughts), as we look to the Lord to show us the Path Of Life. We are a homeschooling family with a strong leaning toward the Classical and Charlotte Mason styles, but since we blend the two philosophies, along with whatever other ideas we like, we classify our homeschool as eclectic.
Legislative Action!
Tell lawmakers that you own your car and can decide where to have it worked on!
Our School Mascot
As you can see, my kids adopted a school mascot, feel free to feed him an apple or brush him by clicking on the button that says "more".
