Adrianna has been a part of this amazing project at the Boulder Library this week. The teens worked together to design and build instruments with data tracking and launched them via two weather balloons yesterday. (They even had to get FAA permission!) Adrianna’s team was responsible for a lot of the circuitry. Today they will […]

Science Project
Science Project Packed for trip and heading to the airport I wish you could see the popcorn Bree drew; it looks like it is popping off the board. (Adrianna’s idea to use thick foam tape.) And Bree drew a pony with a popcorn cutie mark that is eating popcorn.
3D Pen
Our homeschooling this week has been very relaxed so far. We are doing more interest-led learning this week since we’ve already met our required days/hours for the year. (Just don’t tell the girls we’ve met our required days/hours because I *do* still plan on doing some more actual bookwork, even if at a relaxed pace, […]
Bubble Lamp
Adrianna’s latest science project – a Bubble Lamp from her Tinker Crate subscription.
STEMgirls
Adrianna had a STEMgirls class today where they got to take apart broken electronics. She LOVED it. When I picked her up, I asked her what she learned and she excitedly told me, “I learned I like to take things apart!” She is already asking if we have some old electronics that she can take […]
More Microscope Work
And today’s science experiment involved looking at a booger under the microscope. Yep, a booger. And yes, boogers are pretty gross when magnified. #LoveMyLittleScientist #BoogersArentJustForBoysApparently And it had started out innocently enough, checking out the fibers in kleenex. Guess it was just a natural progression from there.
Baking
Baking oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for home economics today (my Grandma Yergler’s recipe). And now my little scientist is comparing cookie dough and a finished cookie under her microscope. Home economics AND science experiment all wrapped in one! She then continued on to cheerios, leaves, pipe cleaners and lots of other things we have in […]
Red Cabbage
I had to chop and boil a head of red cabbage today for our science experiment. Now the entire house smells of cabbage. Lovely.
