Geomagnetic energy was so abundant that telegraph operators were able to send messages without being plugged into their batteries. What year was this event recorded, and what did they call it? What is […]

Grandparents, Gravity, Goodies, and Dessine

Will complete this entry when I have the mind to get all the images together. Tinker Crate with Grandpa – they did the fiber optics constellations and the defy gravity game Grandpa tuned the piano and Lily has become fascinated with not only playing but watching the mechanics. Today she stated she’s going to […]

MinutePhysics

Our new favorite site and Youtube channel: MinutePhysics Today, so far, we’ve watched all the following videos. She’s now playing Minecraft, and I get to sit back and wait until she starts regurgitating what we’ve just watched. This is one of the most enjoyable aspects of educating her as we do – being present when, after […]

24 Hour Clock

We started exploring 24 hour format today, which she’s heard of it before, but only slightly. It remains without relevance at this point, but the concept was part of some game she wanted to play, and so she was exposed. Russ will look for an opportunity to bring it into something of interest for Lily. […]

NASA is Not Dead

Colton’s visit today prompted quite the exploration, on top of the conversations the kids held. Colton informed us that he’d been educated by his parent that NASA was gone, dead, no longer. I suggested perhaps his comprehension of the statement might be inconclusive: I hoped perhaps he’d heard that the shuttle program had been put […]
