Science is Cool!

What we're using: The Usborne Internet-Linked Encylopedia of Our World, World and Space by Childcraft, My First Science Encyclopedia (Kingfisher), Hands-On Earth Science (Carson Dellarosa) and The Geography Book.
Our Earth Science and Geography lessons (Astronomy too) are downloadable for free on the right sidebar.

Thank goodness the experiments weren't any more involved.

In geography, we made a world clock. We even took the project further than The Geography Book said and divided the times by day and night, the stars were Camille's idea. The center circle is on a brad and can spin.

We watched Our World on United Streaming which I highly recommend and more of To Space and Back by Sally Ride. Tomorrow will be the regular weekly report, we have decided to take pictures of our projects so I figured I would share them, especially after seeing how well they turned out!
By the way, our 'sun' is an energy-saving lightbulb that is supposed to last 5 years.
