To emphasize our science topic this week of “Air”, we were thrilled to have a windy day, perfect for kite flying! You gotta love it when you can combine science with physical activity and fun!
We certainly got a lot of running in today, as it wasn’t consistent windy, rather gusts of occasional winds, so often we had to provide our own power by running. Of course our family had to have a flying pteradactyl!

Air is fun!
Earlier today, at home, we performed science experiments that show the two points I wanted to demonstrate:
- Air takes up space.
- Air has weight.
Dr. Nebel’s book shows you how to setup these easy experiments that successfully drive the point home, and even my husband and I learned some things today!
Air takes up space
Here mom is blowing in the water, pushing the air into the water, which bubbles back up to the surface. Kashi the cat had fun observing the air. 
I love experiments!
- I overheard Satori saying this to herself today…
Here’s our balloon experiment which showed us that air does indeed weigh something.
