It feels like a lot has happened these past few days. We had a spell of warm weather, and we spent a lot of it outside. We even went on a little nature walk in the woods. Andrew took pictures of flowers that were in bloom in February. Our plan is to make a photo album of all the flowers that grow on our property this year.
On Tuesday, we visited the local museum of natural history. We looked at the exhibition of old photo cameras and popped into the dark room where photos used to be developed.
Now that Andrew finished his experiments with electricity, he moved on to the next TOPS workbook about magnets. We also continued with the experiments from our light and color book.
