Week 7-9

We have gotten quite a bit done in class the past few weeks. 

Week 7: We did a book study of "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe".  

Week 8: We studied the document - Fragments of Thales.  Logical Suzanne also did a short presentation on logical fallacies and we practiced recognizing "red herrings". 

Week 9: Science Experiments: This has probably been our most enjoyed week so far.  We did a few different experiments.  I think that the magnetic "goo" was extremely popular.  We also did a logical experiment where we had to figure out how to get water from 4 cups to 3 others without touching the cups.  We then made paper airplanes and tried to figure out more effective ways to fold them.  Thank you to Josh for bringing his cookies to test.  I think we all approved.

Homework for next week:

Document Study:  John Tyndall's The Position of Science.  Please be prepared to discuss it next week in class.

ReadingThe Magician's Nephew, we will be discussing it on March 31st.
