My poor blog has been neglected this week, but I promise the midgets and their homeschooling has not :)
Just finished studying Mercury, and of course we needed to do an experiment.....
We recreated the craters on Mercury with pans of flours (the surface of Mercury is covered in thick dust), using rocks and balls as asteroids. Not sure what the educational value of this was......we did compare the size and shape of craters made. But anywho....they enjoyed it and hopefully it helped cement some "Mercury Facts" into their brains :)
