Glue Resist Paintings

We finally got a chance to finish our glue resist fossil paintings today. We used liquid watercolors.

This is Mikro's:



And here's mine:



I wonder if this would work better with the clear glue than with regular old white school glue. The examples we saw worked out much better, with a clear white resist line. Ours seemed to work in places, and in others not so much. I'll have to revisit the directions (this is what I get for reading them several days before starting the project, when I know I have short term memory issues...) and give this another go sometime soon...

Science Jackpot-- Extreme Linky Love

Today we have gorged ourselves on online science resources. I think Mikro probably enjoyed them more than the Pez valentine teddy bear candy dispenser and Transformers calendar that he got for Valentine's Day...

Here are some great places to spend some time:

Explorations Through Timefeatures prehistory, evolution, the geologic time scale, fossilization, and, of course, dinosaurs. We are in love!

The Science Spot is an amazing resource, with lesson plans and links for all sorts of science- chemistry, biology, physics, earth science, general science, astronomy, ecology, etc. Well worth a visit!

Supercharged Science is a large part of our science curriculum. Full of experiments and videos that show you how they are supposed to work, with supporting materials, all presented with passion and enthusiasm by Aurora Lipper. We love this program!
