When in Rome!

Last week we started school. We are learning about the fall of Rome. Super Mom and I pretended to be Roman soldiers and raided our house for carrots and potatoes for super. Romans ate with their hands! This is me dressed up like a Roman soldier. We also learned about gladiators.

Super Art!

On the National Gallery of Art's website (www.nga.gov) you can make your own art! Click on the NGA for kids link and start creating.

Here's what M-Girl and I made:

100 Books

I've read 100 books so far! I am a Super Reader!!! My favorite book, so far, was Scooby Doo and the Race Car Monster. It was silly because the monster trucks were painted like monsters and scared Scooby and Shaggy.

Holidazzle!

Last night, we were in the Holidazzle parade! It was GREAT!

Fishy's are coming!

Fishes are all over!


Monkeys and seals are brothers and sisters. Don't I look like Pa?

Super Science!

Today, we made blue goo. To make blue goo, put one cup of cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup of water, a few drops of liquid food coloring (NOT GEL), and mix with your hands for about 5 minutes. The mixture turns into a liquid and a solid called a colloid.

When you "dig" a trench in the blue goo with your fingers and wait a few minutes, the trench fills in.

See!

When you first pick up the blue goo it feels hard and crumbly.

Then, it turns liquid and starts to drip off your fingers.

M-Girl really liked putting puddles of goo on her hands and so did I!

Why does the blue goo do this? The particles of cornstarch are too large to dissolve in the water. Instead, when you mix water and cornstarch, slimy strings of goo form! The goo is a colloid. A colloid is a special kind of mixture in which tiny pieces of one type of material are floating in another kind of material. The particles so small you can't see them without a microscope.

This experiment was GREAT!
