We were very motivated this week to get our work done and done well because a whole week of no school, turkey, pumpkin pie, Christmas decorating awaited us on the other end.
For the kids the highlight of the week was finally getting their orange belts on. They continue working hard toward the next color.
Andrew had a fun science class once again. This time he explored the chemistry of a flame - the components needed to have one and the components produced by burning. No, we were not playing with fire, although the kitchen smelled of smoke after we had blown out the candle a few times.

| Science. Proving that oxygen is needed to have a flame. Little did we know that the missing oxygen will draw up the water level in the jar. Andrew could not believe his eyes. |
 |
| The pull to fill up the missing oxygen was so strong that even the melted wax coned up. |
 |
| One of the experiments to prove that carbon dioxide is released by burning. The match went out. |
 |
| This experiment explained soot or carbon as in carbon dioxide. |
