We experimented with weighing different objects today.  We could use wood, rocks, corks, pine cones and acorns.  We attempted to balance the scale using objects of different mass or two of the same object.  Questions where asked which lead to a conversation about what weight is.  We learned that weight caused by the mass of the object combined with the force of gravity, as the object is pulled to the earth.  One friend asked what gravity is  and we talked about how it is a force in the universe that attracts objects toward one another.  The earth being so big, it pulls everything toward it, rocks stick and kids!  In response our friend exclaimed  “Oh yeah!  I know about gravity and the universe!”

We did a still life this morning with the lights out and nature music playing in the background. Ms. Kim set up pieces of wood shapes with tea lights spread around the display. We had a discussion about how the lights shined on parts of the of it, while the other parts of the display had shadows. They enjoyed painting their pictures, but they all loved painting their mini easels even more.
