'14/15 Week 2 Day 4

Nice school day! Both kids worked hard. The best part of the day for me was to hear my son say that he loves biology! Wow! And here I was thinking that the last chapter in his biology book was too hard for him to grasp. We made a craft out of it, and by the end of the day, he was drawing cells with proteins, nucleus, sugars, etc. in them all by himself just because he wanted to. 

Science. Andrew describing the work that proteins do in a cell.

Adding sugar (on a dollop of glue) to represent the sugar molecules in the cell.

Saara's science was about the magnetic force. Here, using the force to pull things.

Pulling things upwards is harder because of the gravity.

Feeling the magnetic force and ...

making the butterfly fly.

Saara's attempt at using similes.

Andrew's and Saara's choice of an after school activity: drawing biology inspired pictures.
