we finished identifying our sea grasses in our nature journals this morning.
we used my beachcomber's botany book that my parent's gave me many years ago when i was 15 or so. then before running off to a duncan dance class, m worked on her latin and her greek, and c practiced violin.
while they were gone korrina did her chemistry lab experiment. she calibrated her thermometer by slowly melting ice in a beaker of water on the stove, and graphing the slow temperature rise, ending when it finally boiled. she then worked on measuring the specific heat of a metal by adding a large drill bit to boiling water after weighing it's mass, and performing several equations to determine joules and eventually the specific heat. i don't think she's finished all her calculations yet. she put it aside after a lot of work to get ready for some volunteer time she's putting in with the NYC jedi for the comic con at jacob javitz this weekend.
