'15/16 Week 19 Days 4 and 5

Today, the children liked their science classes the most. Saara was learning about the moisture in the air. After school, the kids rode their bikes down the road to the closest pine tree to see if the cones were open or closed. It was quite a trek for us as we had never walked or biked this far on our road before. I am thankful for quiet country roads.
Andrew had his hands full with yet another TOPS project. This time he was building a circuit with two-way switches. He did all the work himself without needing any help from his mama. 

History. On our last trip to the library, we picked up a few books on WW I.

Science. Saara finished her ten day weather observation. We took a nice long look at the data and Saara answered some questions about her observations.

Andrew's lesson was about magnetism again, and it is always fun to watch the metal shavings reveal the magnet's magnetic field.

The pretty weather predicting pine cones.
