Scrambling off trail. |
Exploring the new swampy area. |
Getting through the mud by climbing on the log. |
And I can't end this blog without mentioning the physics lesson we worked on while swinging. Conrad asked why the tire swing didn't stay as high as when I first pushed the swing. We had a lively discussion about what that might be. We did an experiment-Conrad thought if I pushed the swing more than the usual 10 times-we might get the swing to stay high. So I pushed 15 times and the swing again gradually slowed down. Conrad thought and thought and then decided the tire "gets too heavy." We didn't get into gravity-but that was pretty close!

If you plan on coming back to TOP in the fall of 2014-Sign up for fall is March 18th. There is no preferential registration for current TOP families. The registration turns on at midnight (March 17th). It may behoove you to sign up then-or at least first thing in the morning of March 18th. We have a number of new families who are ready to join us in the fall!
PSS-
There have been requests for the Water Cycle Song.
Here are the words and the link:
Clouds fill up and the rain falls down
Water fallin down to the ground
Big drops small drops all around
This we call precipitation
When the water hits the ground and runs off to the sea
Fill the water way past your knees
Sunshine comes and heats it up
And this we call evaporation
It is a perfect cycle
And it happens every single day and
its called the water cycle
When the mist rises up from the sea
It goes against the force of gravity
Lots of drops and Great big clouds
And this we call condensation
When the Clouds get heavy with all those drops
The cloud will fill till it pops
Clouds burst open and the rain falls down
This we call precipitation
It is a perfect cycle
And it happens every single day and
its called the water cycle
