Electromagnetism

As Liam puts the finishing touches on an opening argument for the morning, I collect materials for my first experiment with electromagnetism at CCC in the morning.  I realize that I only have a 9V battery, and the book calls for 6V.  I ask my beloved if he thinks this is a problem, and he says no.  Then, as I head into another room to try it out, he adds, "Make sure you are sitting down when you try it, just in case.Nine volts is what they use to power a stun gun."

Thanks, honey!

Labels

Here are some ideas for labels, so that future generations of CCC moms (or, us... when we have memorized so much information we can no longer remember anything else) can look for helpful tips.  If your post doesn't fit into any of these, no label is fine, too.  Comment below with further suggestions if there is something we might post about regularly I missed.

Homemaking
Pre-school
History
Geography
Poetry
Grammar
Music
Science
Math
Timeline (for the videos of the signs)
Scripture
Catechesis
Teaching Memory Work
Other Homeschooling (in case someone wants to post about their phonics or math ideas, etc.)
Year One
Year Two
Year Three

So, as an example, if I found a great history resource for Ancient History, I might write a post up about it and label it History, Year One.  Down the road another mom could click on the label "Year One" and get all our notes and ideas.
