Rainbows

Well this week we have been studying rainbows and how they become what the are :) It took a few days to get to do this particular experiment because it was cloudy the first half of the week and today was finally sunny! WOOHOO!





We were both excited to read and use the sun and water to create our own personal rainbow and of course sing the rainbow song...we learned this song 2 yrs ago on the mickey mouse club on disney kids channel at our aunt's house. Since then it has really stuck and given us the opportunity to remember even the ORDER of colors. Today we learned why red is the strongest and first color of the rainbow- well its the strongest color! Anyway this has just been so much fun and I am so glad I get to share my love of science with my son, even if we do (both of us) dislike school!! HAhhaha!!!! Also our cat wanted to get involved too :)

Our Solar System



Obviously by the title I really don't need to explain this project. LOL :) JD loves science so each week, whatever the topic for studying in science is, we find an easy to do at home science project! So far it has been very successful and might just be the turn around for doing this blog by using it to keep rack of the projects we. Hmmm something to think about. Anyway, I still need to take a finish product picture but here is the start of the project. Have a wonderful Christmas everyone!!! XO
