During our minerals week we discovered that all of the minerals we tested sank in our super scientific sink/float test.... Except for one. Can you guess which mineral floated? ICE! Ice is a mineral (which we now know thanks to a very knowledgeable geologist on YouTube. We also learned that glass is not a mineral and we got to watch him break some glass-cool).
We tested all of the minerals with magnets and examined them under magnifying glasses as well as doing a scratch test and seeing if they were harder or softer than a nail. Cedrik loved this. Freddie just liked putting his hand in the water and making the magnets sick together.
For our last week of Michelangelo, we studied a few more of his sculptures which are gorgeous.
Opa visited and he came over for dinner one night. The boys love him and they had to show off their bike skills and they read him Little Blue Truck. He seems to really enjoy the kids.
