Bubbles!

LAST DAY, TIME TO PLAY!!

 Today we are looking at bubbles. What are they? How do they move? Why do they stick sometimes and why do they pop? What part does air and heat play in making and moving bubbles?

Soap bubble surfaces are made from thin layers of water trapped between two layers of soap film. We will make our own bubble soap, bubble wands, bubble blowers, and generally just play with bubbles! We will also blow some of my favorite bubbles -- chocolate milk bubbles with our snack!

It has been a true blessing teaching your children in Science Fun this year.  We are so grateful for having time with them and sharing in the wonder of God's glorious creation.  We hope you have a wonderful and memorable summer enjoying nature together with your family.  God bless your family as you begin the new season of elementary school. 

BOOKS WE READ:  The Nature and Science of Bubbles, by Jane Burton; Bubbles Float, Bubbles Pop, by Mark Weakland

We have learned a lot this year about many subjects and many creatures. This week we look at the
universal truth in nature - everyone has a Mother. We will learn how animal mothers in the wild, (mammals, birds, reptiles, etc.) care for their young. This will spark conversation in class as to how the children's moms care for them.  We will look at how human mammal moms differ from the rest of the animal kingdom.

Hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day and celebrate your beautiful, smart children!!!

Books we Read: Mother's Day Mice (Eve Bunting); Five Minutes' Peace (Jill Murphy); Animal Babies (harry McNaught)
