Periodic Table fun!

Today we did two of the projects from 5 Orange Potatoes.
A PTOE scavenger hunt. Things we hunted for; potassium, sodium, calcium, aluminum, etc... Noah really liked this! Then we did some PTOE riddles and used the Periodic table book to help find the answers. After this we decided to create something using aluminum Al.

This is what we came up with, an aluminum foil face cast of Noah. It's a little space aged scary!

Quiet reading in a cozy spot to round up the day.

Oh, I sooooo LOVE that idea! That's perfect for aluminum. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm glad Noah had a good time with this!

Oooo... creepy-cool face casting. I love it, as well as the idea of a periodic table scavenger hunt. I'm totally stealing this and putting it in my science file. Thank you for sharing!

This book looks so fun, I have already added it to our list for next year when we do chemistry.

Sounds like a good time was had by all! Makes me remember what it was like to have children around the house- sigh! My nearest grandchildren are 4 hours away, the others, 24 hrs!!
