Cloud Seeding

We have begun our day with a few subjects, ranging from the concept of the kobayashi maru exercise and politics, to the value of independent thought and questioning, to challenging status quo and “how we’ve always done it/thought about it”, to cloud seeding. Warm seeding Cold seeding The question we now have is, if the water […]

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 […]

The Camera: All Because Lily Asked

Lily asked about the first “camera”… we learned about the history of the photographic creator, and are trying to create our own representation that we can then manually trace the image to preserve. Camera obscura An artist using an 18th-century camera obscura to trace an image Photographic cameras were a development of the camera obscura, […]

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 […]

Circuitry, Electrons, Atoms, and Catfish

A post under development – as we work through her Tinkercrate (Circuits) this week: Today we read through the Tinkerzine, learning about the basics of electrons, the concepts of particles within an atom, the structure and concept of an atom, how electrons behave, the difference between a particle, an atom, and a molecule, and discovered […]
