Success

We managed to complete what was planned for each's days science last week with a little rearranging of days. All worked out good. I have to work on taking pictures during our experiments. 

We did a narration for Chapter 1, a mini-book for the Least Sandpiper in Chapter 2, and we did Day 5's experiment from Super Concoctions, instead of Chapter 3 of Burgess's Seashore.

Our experiment was making brine, so it went well with our reading about salt water in Chapter 1. It took much shaking and adding of salt before it wasn't being dissolved into the water anymore. Then we had to let it sit for several hours until it was a clear liquid with leftover salt on the bottom.

We have plans for a Horse Unit and have already completed 2 out of 4 mini-books for a Lapbook on Habitats.

The Habitat part we are using from Elemental Science's Lapbooking through Biology. We are going to use the Habitat and the Plant part this year. We will use the rest at different times and I will probably use it all with my 3rd child when she gets in K or 1st.
