We've been doing a lot of fun science-y stuff lately. I mean, part of the fun of home schooling is, well, the fun!

Magic Milk or Milk Painting, as the boys liked to call it. Great lesson on surface tension.
See the tutorial here. |

| We both decided that this one really looked like Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh. (This happens to be his favorite painter, because his middle name is Vincent. He remembers the name because of the book Vincent van Gogh by Mike Venezia. He has a whole series of books out called Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists. Our local library carries many of them. He mixes period paintings and the artist's works with hilarious cartoons. My boys love them!) |

| Making mini volcanoes with baking soda and colored vinegar in droppers. He TOTALLY felt like a scientist. If only he had a lab coat... |
