Day 9 - Dropping an Anchor and Naked Eggs
When it comes to learning, I prefer not to cast a wide net, but rather to drop an anchor and stay somewhere for awhile. I allow my children to choose which topic we drop the anchor in and how deep it goes. Right now, they have chosen "snipers." Everything from documentaries, to YouTube videos, to making rifles and scopes and silencers, to making the perfect camo, to learning how to gauge a target's distance, to watching every single Hollywood movie made about snipers from the past 30 years, we have done it this week!
Oh, and we made a naked egg today! So cool. You let the acid in vinegar dissolve the calcium carbonate, which gets rid of the shell but leaves the middle. It is like a bouncy ball now. And if you shine a light through it you can see the yolk and everything.
