Chemistry Experiments-Acids and Bases

This is chemistry class for Julia and Owen. I am representing RealScience4Kids now at conventions and I have to say, I would buy their products even if I didnt work for them. These books are awesome. Totally hands-on science...tons of experiments and the graphics are amazing. Imagine kids saying "Let me read the physics book first, no fair!"...Music to my ears...LOL..anyway, these pictures are some of the labs we do on a daily basis...we are studying acids, bases, and more. The kids tested all the liquids in our fridge to determine the acidic levels and whether they were safe for Jack to drink....( he has severe reflux) Apple juice and water came up as the winners..with milk right behind...they had fun testing lemonade and orange juice...and vinegar too! We had to boil red cabbage as our indicator..the house smelled for hours but boy did they learn!

FROGS & FRACTIONS

Our totally hands-on journey into the world of Homeschool Education....Please join us on this journey. This second year will be an exciting, adventurous, and challenging time. The goal of this blog is to share with you the many joys of homeschooling. I will mostly post photos as we go along and add dialogue as time permits.
