Science
We continued learning about the elements. We read about the final two groups, lanthanides and actinides. The only experiment we did was using a magnet to make a dollar bill move because of the magnetic ink used in them. We also started back in the RS4K Chemistry book and read about how atoms become molecules and form bonds.
In Colin's Biology class he's taking at the local nature center, they've been learning about frogs. They sent home tadpoles two weeks ago. Half the kids fed them iceberg lettuce and the other half fed them spinach. This week they brought them back to compare the two groups and found the ones fed spinach had gained weight while the others lost weight. They also dissected frogs this week.

History
In history, we started the week reading about King Philip's War. Then we read about New France and their war with the Iroquois. We learned that Louis XIV saved New France by sending soldiers to help and later sending women to be wives. We also read about William Penn and his holy experiment, which resulted in the beginning of Pennslyvania.
Everything Else
As I wrote in a previous post, we read some books for Groundhog Day and made some treats.
Part of the reason for my sister's visit was that she wanted to take the kids to the circus since they had never been. They had a lot of fun.

Looks like a great week! Your son's class sounds great. My older two are taking a biology dissection lab, as well. The circus looks like so much fun! How nice of your sister to take them.
Hope you have a great weekend!
Many blessings,
Lisa
Happy 12th!
I have enjoyed hearing about your elements study! It sounds like you had a very productive week! It was nice of your sister to take them to the circus. I haven't taken mine yet. A lot of kids feel that clowns are scary. I find them a bit creepy myself! LOL
