Paper Airplanes in Science???

You know how the Lord just places things together sometimes and you know without a doubt that HE is behind it all because YOU could never have planned it so perfectly??   I feel that He does that each and every week with our schoolwork.  After finishing with the Biology of plants last month, science is focusing on Energy this week.  I was a little concerned about how I was to make an Energy Unit fun and interesting but as always...God showed off.   We started with a free unit study called Energy Works.   We then moved to the website Energy Kids Page where there was a great visual lesson and booklet about renewable and non-renewable energy.  We ended this week with the cute but informative The Berenstain Bears' Science Fair.  This book is just right for an elementary student that wants simple information and fun projects.  One project was called a Bear-Powered Jet!  You make a paper airplane and apply tape to the top to hold the blown-up balloon that sits atop.....without sealing the balloon, you let 'er fly!!  This little project showed how all jets and rockets get their 'go' from the gases (energy) inside tubes and such.   See below:

I am caught up on your blog! I love it! My friend Pam just withdrew her daughter out of school, she was trying to make it til the end of the year but she just couldn't I want to give her your blogsite if you don't mind. She went to school for education, but believes in public school, but has had a bad experience with Madeline's 2nd grade teacher since they moved to Indiana in December. Let's talk soon!
