History & Science

We finally got to start our new Story of the World book! Jayden is particularly excited to be learning about the Middle Ages.

The first chapter was a review on the fall of Rome, including the division of Rome and the Barbarians that invaded it.

This year we are working our way through R.E.A.L. Odyssey Earth & Space in Science. Our first lab of the school year was about the amount of drinkable and undrinkable water on Earth.  We learned that 97% of the Earth's water is ocean water, 2.3% is ice water, 0.6% is water underground, and less than 0.1% is drinkable!

 

This led to a discussion on the importance of the water cycle as well as water conservation.
