This week's Bible covers Saul's sacrifice to David and Jonathan. It is interesting how quickly Saul's character flaws start emerging. He doesn't follow God's commands. Then, David is anointed secretly, and yet God works it out so Saul needs David to play his harp for him.
In History we learned some of the early Russians and Scythians.
We tried two of the science experiments. The first was "Designed for Living Underwater." I found an old medicine eye-dropper, but, it was plastic, so it didn't float in the water the way it showed in the book. However, when we squeezed the bottle, we could see the water moving up the dropper towards the bulb, and when we released, the water moved back out of the dropper. The other experiment we tried was "Motion: Things That Oppose It." This one was kind of neat. First, make sure you have 3 or 4 sections of your newspaper. If you don't, the newspaper will fall to the floor more slowly than the penny. (The Sunday paper would be real good for this one.) So, that was the first interesting thing - the paper and the penny hit the floor at just about the same time. Next, we dropped the toilet paper and the penny. That one was obvious - that the penny was going to hit the floor first. The last thing was to drop the newpaper with the toilet paper square on top. Rabbit thought that it would separate from the newspaper and drift down slowly. But that's not what happened! So, that was a good learning experience.
In Spelling, we finished step one and went on to step two. Rabbit is still having to re-master some of the phonograms, but it has been a good review.
We're making steady progress in everything else, and really enjoying Bach. Rabbit dances around the kitchen when we listen to Bach.
(I'm still catching up my blog, so this is from memory, which is why it is so short.)
