'18/19 Week 4

Science. Saara explaining how respiratory and circulatory systems work together in our bodies.

      We had the good intention to go to our first field trip this week, but it never happened. The day we were to visit the exhibition at our local museum, Saara was feeling poorly, and we decided to postpone the trip. 
      Thankfully, she recovered fast and was all ready for her first choir practice on Friday. It felt like a reunion for all of us. We had not seen our friends all summer, and there was a lot of catching up happening between practices. 
      Also, this week, Andrew and I had a spontaneous Science class one morning. I had heard some odd squeaks coming from the underbrush, and after investigating I found a small ribbon snake trying to swallow a huge frog who was letting out the squeaks. We watched the goings-on for a while and then checked back every now and then to see if the snake really swallowed the frog or decided to let it go. It swallowed it.

PGM. First chimes practice this semester.

After his own practice, Andrew stayed to help in the beginner class of chimes.


Science. He is building something again.

This time it was a simple solenoid electromagnetic device. The nail inside the straw was supposed to be sucked into the  straw.

Which it did.

This is how we found the pair.
