Water Displacement with Pirates

 

We spent a sunny day out at a boat landing in the city to learn about water displacement and buoyancy. Skylar spent the day before creating his own version of a pirate ship to help with the lesson. We ended the class lesson by throwing "cannonballs" at the poor ship, but it held strong and didn't take on any water, or sink.

Homeschool homework

Even with homeschooling there are evenings that we are still plugging away at homework needed for the following day. Sometimes not all work gets finished during the classroom time, so the evening studying and completing is needed so that we don't fall behind. It's important to have a good schedule and curriculum, so the homeschool classroom stays on task and also teaches good skills in staying productive.
