A New Way Academy

The past couple of weeks we have been using the Honest History books. N's choice has been learning about some Japanese culture and the history of the Samurai.
Great books... lots of visuals to dig into, but not so much that it's overwhelming.

Today we did our Halloween art and looked at mixing of primary colors from a scientific perspective (since N. is a science lover).

We made hypotheses predicting what colors we would get from (red + blue), (blue + yellow), and (red + yellow), and we learned the difference between hypothesis and theory in the scientific process. We found that we learned new things when our hypotheses were incorrect.

After learning how to make colors, N. chose what color to paint his pumpkin (purple) and what designs to make. He decided on white stars and a white waning cresent moon.🌛

Biology lesson today.
We focused on the nervous system and how our bodies move!
Terms we covered included:
-Central Nervous System
-Peripheral Nervous System
-Nerve
-Neuron
-Conduction
-Axon
-Dendrite

N.'s interesting takeaway was that our bodies have electricity in them.
