Today we are talking about S words and the science of the Sun. There are some good pages on EnchantedLearning.com for easy explanations of how the sun works, where it is in our solar system, and whatnot.
We are also talking about the Son of God and how He is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 110:105). He wrote the letter S and practiced his name. He also drew some pictures of things that begin with S.
We did an experiment with force today. We used ourselves, different sized Care Bears, and my spinning computer chair in order to show how things that weigh differently will spin at different rates of speed in the chair. Explaining force, gravity, centrifugal force, and inertia to a 5 year old isn’t easy, but he gets the gist of it.
Later on today I will do some more things but right now it’s break time.
