Hi friends, if you need to silence the music just hit the play/pause button on the player in the right sidebar, just below the black horse and the copyright notice.
************************************************************
This post was started on February 20, but the whole thing was lost when it was almost finished, and I just now got around to re-doing it.
Okay, these photos are a couple of weeks old, but worth posting. My 10th grade daughter is doing biology this year, and we have come to the section of the book that covers dissections. I am counting these as my Project 365 photos for today at least... if not the week.
First, in the photo below you see our whole science class, my daughter has just gotten out the microscope and is waiting for Aaron to hand her the end of the extension cord so she can plug it in:

After that, each of the kids took turns looking a small creatures under the microscope, and recorded their findings:

Then we got to start the fun stuff!!!

I notice that Eliana looks a little disgusted, and Aaron looks a little amused!

Examining the outside and taking notes:

Snip, snip!






One thing that most of the kids did, was to accidentally cut into the intestine, instead of just the skin. Ideally this would not have happened, but it is difficult to avoid, and they all pretty much botched it. As you can see here, that gave us a nice view of the intestinal contents anyway!

Now, here are my daughter's lab notes, she writes very small, but the information is accurate if you can manage to read it!

We are doing dissections too. We loved dissecting a pig and frog because they were so easy after trying to cut open that skinny little worm!!!
Glad to see you are posting more here - I know you are busy, but your blog is a thoughtful as always and your pictures are so great! sigh - I must work on mine!

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".
