Biology - Experiement #1

The Professor is taking high school Biology this year.  He was pretty excited about it.  Then he found out he doesn't dissect anything until lesson six.  He's doing fine though.

 I have to make sure he has access to experiment supplies, like a pond.  It took me a few days to find a great pond.  It just happened to be right next to Grandma Patty's house.  

 At the moment I'm totally bummed we had to give back a super nice microscope when we left the parent partnership program.  I saw one at Value Village the other day for $25.00 and I'm contemplating going back and seeing if it's still there and the condition it's in.  But the thought of taking everyone into a store dripping with less than tasteful Halloween costumes makes me think twice.

  
We need a microscope to view slides of the pond water he collected. He collected four samples and stored them for a week in different jars with different protein.

I was so thankful for the sun that came out and made it a really nice outing.  The water level was low so the boys walked way out into the pond.  And of course I hollered at them to come back.  Tis just my nature.

I love how they turn back into inquisitive, exploring boys when they get into nature.

Celebrating...

 It's wasn't fancy but we celebrated our October birthdays with favorite meals, waffle breakfasts, cupcakes and pie.
