Science Lessons 101

I caught a lizard today (yes, I actually went out and caught one-- surprise!!).  This was simply a homeschooling moment that couldn't be wasted whether I dislike lizards or not... 

Anyhow, Havilah, Judah, and Benjamin were delighted to look at this "lovely" little specimen....  And thus began their very first science lesson of the season.

Finally, after looking at the "cute" little guy--it was time to say goodbye and let him go-

Judah had the honors of dumping him out of the bag-

And everyone watched him creep away...

Remarks made by the children~

• In response to the question of what color he was, Havilah answered, "....Green...."
• After studying the lizard for a moment, Judah declared, "He's looking at me!"
• When the lizard seemed somewhat close to Benjamin he responded, "Eeeeeh!!!!"

 Stay tuned for future Science Updates....  Perhaps next time it will be a snake....

A Model of Blood...

This past week, I made a model of blood for a science experiment. I used corn syrup for the plasma, red hots for the red blood cell, white jelly beans for the white blood cells, and sprinkles for the platelets in our bodies.
So please! Sit back and enjoy the pictures!!!!

All of my labeled ingredients.

Step One: Pour the "plasma" in a bowl...

Step Two: Pour the "Red Blood Cells" in... 

Step Three: Drop your "White Blood Cells" in....

Step Four: Now the Sprinkles! 

 And Lastly... ::Drum Roll, Please!:: THE FINISHED PRODUCT!

Oh...and then the picture of me holding it... (Right after mommy took the picture, the model did a nice big drip on the floor! It wasn't that easy to clean it up!!!! ;))

So there you have it!

I hoped you like that!
