Earth Science: Earth's Crust & How Soil is Made Weeks 2 & 3

Working on getting back on schedule and doing Science and History together.  So far it is working that we are doing History Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Science is happening Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, if we need an extra day.  It seems to keep things fresh for Giraffe.

Friday

• Complete Evan-Moor ScienceWorks for Kids: Geology, Grades 1-3 "The Earth's Crust Is Made of Rock and Soil - What Is on the Earth's Crust?" activity and worksheet (pages 17-18).
• Watched Bill Nye the Science Guy: Earth's Crust  by Disney.

Wednesday (because following schedules doesn't always happen, especially when pre-arranged classes get transfered around. -- Tuesday Giraffe, Daddy and Ketchup collected items for the observations that we made today.  One of Frog's classes got put back a couple hours and ran longer than it should have - so Wednesday became our Science day and we did some History reading too!)

• Complete Evan-Moor ScienceWorks for Kids: Geology, Grades 1-3 "Soil Is Made When Rocks Break Down and Mix With Decaying Plants - It's Not Just Dirt!" and "Follow Up" activities and mini book (pages 21-22).
• Watched Bill Nye the Science Guy: Rocks & Soil by Disney.
• Read Dirt by Steve Tomecek.
• Complete Evan-Moor ScienceWorks for Kids: Geology, Grades 1-3 "Soil Is Made When Rocks Break Down and Mix With Decaying Plants - Extension Activities" (pages 23).

FTR - I've posted links to some of the videos that we use during our lessons.  Some are available at our library and some were present in full online - I found them while searching for more material and the links were available at the time I posted this!
