~ Tides ~

We have been reading A Child's Geography
by Anne Voskamp. I'm really enjoying it-and so are the kids.
Before Christmas we read a lesson about tides. For the first time in my life I understood how they worked. I always knew if had something to do with the moon and magnetism. Anyhow, she described it in such a way that it made sense to me. She said it was like a big elastic band stretched around the Earth and the Moon and the pull is what causes the tides.
Anyhow, I guess my dd really understood it too. Without me asking her, she drew this picture on our wipe-off board.

My dd then proceeded to explain to me, in her own words, how tides worked, while describing what she had drawn.
What a good example of the beauty of homeschooling!!

And I'm tagging you. I picked you randomly but also because we are dragging out our oceanography unit and I can't wait to show my kids the picture and maybe check out the geography book you talked about. Anyway, instructions for the tag are on my blog.

Welcome to my Nature Study blog. I have been influenced greatly by the Charlotte Mason approach to studying God's marvelous creation. I'm learning so much, along with my children, that I'm sharing it with you here. Enjoy!
