Solar Systems, how small we really are

As we got into the second six weeks of Cycle 2, science turned to Astronomy.

I showed the kids this pretty cool video.

Next we painted a little model solar system (taobao, my friends)

 They loved this and it really did help put things in perspective.

 This may be all the Science we do this year but it is something!

 Tobin painted the sun.

Gabrielle sat in a toy box and caused mischief

I did love this project, this week we did edible moon phases with oreos, again.
This year we bought the birthday cake flavored ones. YUM.
