We are starting out the homeschool year. Technically we don't need to log hours for another year, but I really want to practice at it before we are mandated to do it. So this year, I will be trying to manage how many hours Lily does in each subject.
July already started out with a science camp at the Orion Science Center and Dinospace Adventure Fun Park. Lily was there for three hours and did 20 hours of instructional time. On the first day, they learned about archaeologists, paleontologists, and dinosaurs. They worked on digging for bones in a dig pit, working on getting bones out of a hard block, making molds to send off to museums, dissecting owl pellets to study the bones, and much more.
On the second day, she learned about space. She made a sun with space facts in it, shot off water rockets and paper rockets to learn about arodynamics, played with a hot air balloon, and much more.
On the third day, they learned about erosion and volcanoes. They also did lots of fun science experiments and talked about the scientific process! What a great time of learning!
Also as a part of social studies/geography, Lily has been sending Flat Lily to other areas. My friend Lori and her kids took Flat Lily around Monroe, Louisiana! We just love learning about different areas of our country!
