Changes of Shadow

Shadow can change, 

at noon so short, 

at dawn so long 

and sundown too! 

Shadow appeared. 

A light so bright, 

that doesn't pass 

through anything.

Surface Tension

I have been studying about liquid. Liquid is one of the state of matter and it has a thin skin at the surface called surface tension. Surface tension is the liquid particles that stick together and form a layer. Insects could float on top of water because of surface tension.

Trying to do an experiment if the water particles stick together. Syringe is the only material available, we could use medicine dropper. I made drops of water on a plastic sheet. Try to stick them together if it is working.

Finally! The water particles stick together!

Second experiment, paper clip floats on water

food coloring in a bowl of water (food coloring is to make the water visible), paper clip and tissue paper or paper towel

Put paper clip on top of tissue paper

Gently put on top of water

as the tissue paper gently pushed down, the paper clip float

We tried to drop the paper clip in water, but it sinks! Why is it? It should be floating! When we put paper clip on tissue paper, the paper clip floats. Tissue paper helps the paper clip to put on the water "very gently", so that it won't break the "surface tension."

Here is one more experiment

Plastic basin, glass of water, food coloring (to make the water visible), cardboard

Put the food coloring to the glass of water

Put the cardboard on top of the cup of water

and tern it upside down

It's awesome!

I tried it again in a bigger jar

WOAH! Awesome!  :)

Seed Pod

I am examining the baguio beans. There are lots of seeds in it.

How and Why are the seeds attached properly? It has colorless, juicy and soft things in it. So that it will not shake or move, then the seeds will grow properly.

WooWzer!! God's creation is beautiful!

Going To A Doctor

Going to the doctor is very fun!
Because it helps me to be healthy.
I play with lot of kids and I cheer them up.
My doctor checks my ears, it tickles me.
No one like syringe, it bits me up.
I feel cold when she hears my heartbeat.
But I need to take a deep breath, to hear my lungs properly.
I say "AAaahh..Eeelll" with my tongue out, to check my mouth properly.
My doctor is great.
Her tools are not scary, but a little bit ticklish.

In Proverbs 17:22 says "A cheerful heart makes you healthy. But a broken spirit dries you up."

It's All About Plants

Taking care of flowering plants is one of Otnie's hobbies and he used to talk or sing with them.

There's something I've learned from him by trusting God no matter what may happened. One time i asked him what kind of plant he's going to take care of it, he pointed out 2 plants that looks like it's about to die sooner and it cost cheaper, then i asked him why he choose that? then he told me "mommy, Jesus will help us to take care the plants, just trust Him".

Honestly, the two plants continue to bloom lots of flower, while mine...need more efforts to bloom.

Whenever i saw Otnie's plants, it always reminds me that i should always trust God because He is in control of everything.

In Proverbs 3:5-6 says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding. In all your ways remember Him. Then He will make your paths smooth and straight."

today's meal...!

Otnie got an idea and he designed a happy face breakfast meal.

He enjoyed eating it.

His cousin (kuya rommel) gave a cup of yogurt. He's watching his favorite tv shows, then...at the same time he's eating yogurt for his snack!...   :)   it's very nutritious and delicious!!.....hehehehe at last!! i tasted some of it!! (about half teaspoon only)

magnet

While i'm preparing for filipino's lesson. When i looked behind me, otnie was enjoying to play magnet.






me: what are you doing?

otnie: magnet race!! :)

me: ok :)

otnie: look mommy!! look!! i'm going to race....brrrrrmmmm.... brRRrrrroooom!

Most of the time, we don't really need to buy expensive toys for our kids to play, just find a simple things to play with enjoyment. It encouraged them to develop their creativity and to be contented.

land forms and water forms

Lately, Otnie studied about land and water forms. While he was exploring and discovering the land and water forms, he's amazed and very appreciated the beauty of God's creation.

I let Otnie to watch the movie WALL•E, so that he may learned something new. While he's watching the movie, he saw lots of garbage, the air are polluted! then he said "yeow! oh!!..it's dirty!...lots of garbage and with stinky shoe", i said "the world will be like that if we are not concerned to our surroundings."

Otnie learned how to take care the land and water forms by:

• conserving water.
• taking care of the plants.
• throw the garbage on a proper place.
• always make the surrounding clean and orderly.
• recycle - used ice cream container into a storage for crayons/pens/any school supplies or as a pot for the plants or toy drums to play with. Used BBQ stick/used egg cartons for art crafts. Used soda bottles for any kinds of liquid re-filler or drumsticks to play. It taught Otnie to be resourceful and creative.

For Artcraft:
piece of brown art paper cut into a big triangle for mountain

then paste it.


draw some waves using blue crayon or color pencil for sea


Put glue all over the sea and mountain parts, then sprinkle some sands


draw a sun using orange and yellow color crayon or color pencil


draw some birds using brown and black color crayon or color pencil


Otnie learned that if we are not concerned to our dear world very well, God will be sad and we don't have place to live including animals. So...it's never too late and let's start taking care of it.
