We conducted an experiment to test our hypothesis of how many water droplets can fit on the surface of a penny. We saw that the water piles up to form a round bubble. We learned that the water molecules stick together because of attraction between their positive and negative parts similar to tiny magnets. Each water molecule has one oxygen atom that carries a negative charge and two hydrogen atoms they carry a positive charge. One water molecule’s positive part sticks to another molecule’s negative part. This stickiness is called cohesion. Since water molecules are polar (they have a positive and negative side), these molecules attract each other. The attraction is called a hydrogen bond and hydrogen bonds make water molecules want to stick to each other. Then we played a math game where we had to add and subtract natural numbers.

Jason was absent today.

Jason dissected a Barn Owl pellet and discovered what the Barn owl had eaten by placing the bones he found in the pellet on a chart.

Jason completed a lesson on solids, liquids, and gasses. He read and discussed an article about cookie monster. He made chocolate chip cookies demonstrating how heat can change an object's state of matter.

Jason reviewed what he learned about underwater spiders, and performed an experiment to prove how spiders trap air in order to survive and thrive in an underwater home.

Aiden began Lesson 2 The Solar System. He completed the Lesson 2 Launch "Objects in Our Solar System" where he brainstormed the different parts that make up our solar system. He completed Encounter the Phenomenon "How Do Objects in the Solar System Compare?" and watched the animation "In Our Neighborhood" which animated the concept of astronomical units (AU). He completed the Investigation "Compare the View" which compared telescope images of Jupiter and Saturn from backyard telescopes with space-based telescopes.
