'15/16 Week 19 Day 1

I like those days when we do not have to rush off to town to ballet or choir or other things. We have the time we need to spend on one or another subject. These are the best days for doing science experiments and watching any videos we might have. No videos today, except for a short one in Andrew's science class. He continues experiments with the electrical resistance in wires. Today, he had to pop a balloon. We did the experiment twice because the first balloon deflated silently. It made us laugh. The second one popped with a loud band just like it was supposed to.

Science. Saara is on Day 8 in her weather observation. She has been already noting down the different clouds and today, she read more about them and the reason why they are so different.

Andrew inflating the balloons for his Big Bang experiment.

When the fuse melts, it burns a hole in the balloon making the latter pop.

Our first balloon did not pop, but just deflated.

Math. Saara knows how to multiply by 0s, 10, 1s, and 5s. Today, she added 2s to the mix.
