Light - Week 2

This year, we'll have month long themes based on each day of Creation. This month's theme is "Let there be Light". 

Brandy started off today lesson reading this very clever book. Every page is black but has braille and texture. Kids had to use their sense of touch to "see" the pages of this book.

Next up, Brandy did a "taste the color" experiment. The kids had to close their eyes and taste her surprise foods and name the color they tasted.

Then we did a true science experiment. We had lemons, pennies, zinc wires, and copper wires. Zane really worked hard on making a slit in this lemon. 

I have no idea what Christian is saying in the picture, maybe, "Why are we using plastic knives to cut?" haha Safety first, Christian.

In one of the slits, the kids slid in a copper penny.

In the other slit, they added zinc wire. 

The moms added the copper wire to connect the lemons, wires, pennies, and finally the little light.

Our first set didn't work, but try, try again.

The second set of lemons worked. WE HAD LIGHT!

 And God saw that it was good.

It was a small flickering light, but it was a light.

Zane's:

Our homework is to see if we can make a spark with a mint. It may or may not work, but at least we'll have nice smelling breath afterwards.
