Week 20 Day 6

We finished our very productive school day with some science activities. Right now it is all about the human body and the functions of its different organs. We already had measured our lung capacity, so today we focused on breathing and why we breathe faster when we run. Both kids loved the little experiment of measuring how many times they breathed when standing still and after running in place for a while.

We also did a little reviewing of the water cycle because it fit perfectly into our other science activity - making the invisible water in the air become visible. All it took was a cold surface. Just like water droplets condensate up in the air to make rain, Mom's tea glass had water 'magically' appear on the outside of the glass. Cool.
