Louis Pasteur Anyone? ~ I Need Your Help!

By

In learning about Fermentation today, Dawson really got into Louis Pasteur and said that he thought he was really cool. Of course, as a homeschool mom, my thought was, "Well, then let's not move forward and, instead, study him some more." I mean, if your child shows an interest in something, especially a microbiologist, don't you just want to park there for a while?

But, I don't have any direction on a lesson plan.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A GREAT LESSON PLAN ON LOUIS PASTEUR, OR IDEAS FOR HOW I COULD BUILD ONE?

I do not want to waste this awesome opportunity.

    For Dawson's biology can you tell me if this is the book you are using?
    The Way Life Works

    And does it have the dissection unit and all the things you've done with him in it?

    Or do you have another spine that you use? I've noticed that you use other resources to add to it but I was just wondering if it included most topics as an outline.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for replying on my blog!
    You said," I wish I had more guidance for you. I really build this curriculum completely myself, using The Way Life Works as our outline."

    This is exactly what I wanted to know! Thank you so much for the quick reply! My son is 14 and we tried to do a bit of biology this year (Apologia isn't for us either) and we stalled out. My spine was not what we needed. So I'm thinking of following The Way Life Works as our guide also. But it gets me to thinking that I might even have something already in my stash that I've overlooked.

    Thanks again for your help!

We all know that in this crazy world of homeschooling, we need all the (adult) support we can get. Please leave a comment if you so wish!

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

By
Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...

Science Sunday ~ Hmmm ... Let Me Think About It!

By
This week in our study of the Human Body , Brynne moved on to the Nervous System . Our first stop was a Pamela Hill Nettleton book called, Think, Think, Think: Learning About Your Brain . As part of our discussions about the brain , and the fact that it's the BOSS of the body, we discussed the importance of the spinal cord . We did a hands on spinal cord project by alternating gummy Life Savers and wagon wheel pasta on a pipe cleaner. We talked about why there was the "squishy" stuff in between the vertebra and how the back can bend and sway because of it. We completed "The Brynne" by adding the stomach, small intestine and large intestine, from our study last week of the Digestive System (although I just realized I have the large intestine coming out of the stomach, when the small intestine should be) and the brain and spinal cord. We are now done talking about the parts of the body and will conclude our study of the Human Body with a two-day unit ...
