Safety In The Science Lab

We don't do a lot of lab type stuff, though we do experiments. I wanted to begin Chemistry this year, but I am not sure it will get fit in. DJ's science lesson today is about safety in the Science lab. The cute rap song in the video will help your child remember the safety rules of the lab.

Last night was our first 4H meeting. DJ got elected to be Historian this year. Caitlin is not yet old enough to hold an officer position. Not that she cares, she was too busy playing with her new friend that comes now.

Safety And Science Experiments

Tomorrow in DJ's Science book he has a reading and question assignment on safety when doing lab experiments. I found this cute video to accompany the lesson. Feel free to use it in your lessons. We are also doing a small discussion experiment about how hot earth is and how we think it would be if the sun was both closer, and farther away. How would it affect life on Earth? Caitlin was going to do a zoo animal lapbook, but instead I found these cute zoo animal stick ons at Walmart, and she created her Halloween pumpkin using them. She made a Zoo Animal pumpkin. I will post pictures later this week, it is cute. They also had farm animals with the barn, and fences and everything. If you want something creative to do besides carving the pumpkin I think a farm animal pumpkin would be awesome too. Oh and for dinner tonight I made the cutest pizzas, I will share that picture later too. Tomorrow we also have a playdate at the park from 12-2, last week got postponed due to an emergency in one of the other families. Tonight is our first 4H meeting. I will let you know how it goes.
