Greece Week 3

Wow, last week was a blur due the holiday ! I had to look at the pictures we took to remember what we packed into MTW.

See this gross disgusting "thing/things " growing in this jar ? That was from our smelly feet project we did week 2. Originally we were supposed to see results in 4 days. We let it fester twice that and got some rather yucky results. Now every time I see their smelly feet on my countertops I remind them of this experiment :)Zoe was the winner,that blob up front. I wish we had a microscope!

We started going over the skeleton system, demonstrating the strength of the hard outer part of the bone using a toilet paper roll & talking about what makes up the softer inner part of the bone.

These are our cool skeletons which took a little bit of work. The ribs were a little time consuming but it was definitely a cool demonstration of the major bones of the body.

This is an ongoing chicken bone experiment. We are to soak a chicken bone in vinegar for 8 days. Changing the vinegar every couple days. The vinegar reacts with calcium in the bone. With Calcium loss after 8 days we are going to see if our chicken bone is bendable.

Moving on to Greece........We dressed up Greek style. Zane was not at all interested in this :) The girls used our shear curtains & Carson our bedsheets. It was like a moment from Sound of Music when Julie Andrews uses the curtains in her bedroom to make play clothes for the kids. Carson wore his all day. Vania tried until it came undone in her booster seat :) Zoe complained about the fabric itching so hers immediately came off after I "made" her take a picture.


Lastly, we made necklaces using copper wire & small stones to go with our Greek clothing.


That's our weekly wrap up. On to week 4 !
