When we started chemistry this year I almost bought a poster of the Periodic Table of Elements several times. I always talked myself out of it because they were so plain and boring. I was really sad that Flowerpatch Farmgirl wouldn’t give me hers. I heard she was selling everything. Can I have it for $5 Shannan?
When you can’t find what you want, make it yourself. Well, we tried anyway.
We did that experiment recently with the soda and the Mentos. I bought two cheap sodas in case we wanted to do it twice (but it wasn’t that thrilling). So the drink left on the bar now has a new name. The three year old calls Sam’s soda “science coke.”
“Can I have some of that science coke, mama?” Cracks me up. It is the cutest thing ever.
It may be the new reason I homeschool so that my 3 year old knows the word science.
Don’t worry. Everyone got a chance to paint. Even these two patiently waiting in the background.
We made it all colorful, without regard to any kind of rules or key. We like it that way.
We had fun and we did it ourselves. We used oil pastels to write the abbreviations then painted over them with watercolors.
We’re happy with the results.
