For the Children's Museum: Who wouldn't want to stand inside a bubble, Test their reflexes in an automobile simulator, Or "make groceries" at Winn Dixie? They always want to be the check out clerk.  I believe they think the cashier gets to keep all the money. I can't believe sweet 16 cut off a 2 year old in the line. Little Miss Innocent.

The Mighty Ducks showed their support. What more could a 16 year old want on her birthday? I don't think so.

Look Into My Eyes....

 Said the cow to my bio students........   " This is so coooool!!!!"  (heard repeatedly throughout the morning) Follow this link for your lab report sheet , if you would like to join us. Or conduct a virtual dissection ,  if your table top is an aqueous humor-free zone . KT is home on break, so we recruited her to facilitate the lab.   Biology major today, home educator tomorrow.  *This is the daughter who stares at the steam escaping from the pot while cooking dinner, because she is pondering the whys of sublimation.

Calling All Brainiacs!

Sheep Brain Dissection 10:30 Today Awesome!    No squeamish girls at our table. Reviewed the CNS and PNS on the big screen.  Anatomy identified Worksheets labeled Mission accomplished         I found a simplified version of our dissection manual online at Home Training Tools. , and we watched this Youtube video of  a  neuron  (computer simulation). Cleaned it all up in time for lunch. Thanks, Kim for the fabulous crab and corn chowder. Delish! Though the kids were a bit concerned that the mushrooms resembled gray matter, just a bit.  Tee hee HT to Sheri for the pics!
