The boys are still working through their simple machines unit with K’nex. Here we have the balance, and then the wheel barrow. I have learned a lot through these lessons but the boys are taking their time explaining things to me.
1st, 2nd and 3rd class levels have been studied now. 
Here is Zephan explaining pulleys to me.
Ezra’s block and tackle, the best project yet! Next up in the K’nex: Gears.
Kzena is enjoying building the projects after the boys. Here she’s built the boat and is twisting the elastic to show me how fast the wheel will spin.
Getting a little energy out.
I taught the kids how to play solitaire with cards. Wow! Ha! They thought this was great. As a child I spent hours playing cards. An enjoyment that has been lost here with the computer dealing for us. Time to bring back the deck!
What is it about SITTING on a stool that is so difficult?? Or maybe I’ve just lost some sense of adventure with age. I think I’d fall off if I was to sit like them.
