Conversation Heart Science

Using the holidays as inspiration in your lessons is always a fun way to break up the monotony. Since Valentine’s day is coming up these Conversation Hearts are everywhere, and while I personally don’t enjoy eating them I thought it would be fun to use them in our science experiments. In this experiment we are observing the effects different environments have on the Conversation Hearts. For more science fun with Conversation, Hearts check out our Dancing Conversation Hearts Density Experiment. Before we begin, take a moment and pin this post on your homeschool science board for later!

Girls Think of Everything: Stories of Ingenious Inventions by Women have been a favorite it our home. Have you read it?

If you haven't make sure to pick it up from your local library or bookstore. It is an amazing read and you will learn a lot about women who invented some things we take for granted every day.

What fun things have you created in your homeschool lately?
This week has been filled with snow. It's a new mo This week has been filled with snow. It's a new month and it came with a ton of snow. Been shoveling and schleping for days now. 

We took like 3 days off of book work from our homeschool this week because dealing with the snow and everything else I am responsible for is exhausting and sometimes self-care looks like slacking a bit. 

Dealing with the guilt of slacking a bit is another thing, trying to be in the moment and enjoy these moments with the kids is where it is at. Seeing the smile, and laugh while frolicking in this dreaded snow is where it's at. 

It's all about perspective, so find that perspective that makes you happiest.
We have been bombarded by snow, yesterday we spent We have been bombarded by snow, yesterday we spent most of the day playing and shoveling the snow. When we came in, I made hot chocolate and told a story from @storytyke.
