Tuesday Science: Weather

Science class on Tuesday was about the weather. The kids learned about temperature, wind speed and direction, weather symbols, and types of clouds. They got to experiment with an anemometer and a windsock. Their take home was a set of sun beads.



After class, we hung out at the library, read down our fines, and enjoyed a bunch of books about clouds, thunderstorms and hurricanes. Mikro also discovered Max Axiom, Super Scientist Graphic Novels. He sat on the train going home, eating up Cell Life, and bubbling over with enthusiasm. "Hey mom, this is cool! Listen to this!" And he regaled me with information about ribosomes, mitochondria, ATP, mitosis and other things I never heard of till high school biology. My kid is a bio geek, what can I say? He comes by it honestly. (Mom will be reading the comic book as soon as she can get her paws on it...)
