Bringing in Number SIX!!!!

I have a little man obsessed with Science! That’s a good thing…right!? So when I found an idea for a Mad Scientist Party, I just knew he would love bringing in number 6 with an explosion!


All Scientist had to have their hand scanned to enter this top secret Science Lab.

If they were given clearance, they were greeted with a team who assigned them an ID Badge and a group number.

This gave them an all access pass to Levi’s private Science Lab!!



Levi specifically ask to explode a Volcano….so we did…..


Our amazing little scientist also had some fun making marshmallow molecules to take home….

We tried to see if oil would mix with water,

We watched some raisins do some dancing’
 
And last, but not least made OOBLECK!
Ewwwwey…..and Gooooey, but so much fun!


This was a super fun party!!!

Butterfly Fun

A few months ago, I bought a hands-on kit to teach the children the life cycle of the Butterfly. One day after pulling up the house, the children discovered this on the front porch!


Inside were 5 LIVE caterpillars crawling all around.

This was truly a miraculous transformation. I have had textbook knowledge of this process my entire life, but watching it happen before my very eyes made me once again appreciate the wonder of God’s creation.
We combined our learning with a TLC Art Project.
Of course the very first stage is the little egg of the leave.


I did not get a great picture of the chrysalis stage, but here is Zachariah’s interpretation through art.

About a week later, we woke one morning to find this beautiful butterfly and 4 of his friends waiting for us at the breakfast table.

After we watched them and fed them for 3 days, we invited some friends over and released these beauties into Nature.



And this little guy wasn’t sure he wanted to go…..

This was a super fun way to learn about one of many of God’s creatures!
