Volume 2, Unit 2, Chapter 2


For the past 2.5 weeks, we have been learning about lots of things! For Bible, we are in Exodus 2, learning about Moses' family. Just when you think you know everything you can possibly know... So, in Social Studies, we have been studying the Nile River. We are trying to compose a lapbook for it, but my creativity is on the low end. We'll see if it gets done now or later! In Science, we have looked at the composition of the earth: land/water, crust, mantle, outer core, inner core. I found a great hands-on project for this:









Greenish-yellow: land mass; Blue: water; purple:crust; lt. orange: mantle; pink:outer core; dark orange: inner core.
The girls created their "earths" and then we cut away a section to see what it looked like inside. What a neat visual!
