The kids had a great class on Wednesday! We completed experiments 1.2 : Cubits and Fingers and 1.3 : Concentration in Module #1 during our group. We have a great group of kids and I am looking forward to many more great classes in the year ahead!
Experiment 1.2 Cubits and Fingers
In Noah's day, measurements were made using cubits (a measurement from one's elbow to the tip of the middle finger) and fingers (a measurement from the last knuckle to the tip of one's pointer finger). The students cut their individual cubits and fingers and used them in measuring the table.

Experiment 1.3 Concentration
Using different concentrations of vinegar and water, the kids observed what
happened to a tums tablet in different levels of concentrated liquids.

The first 3 jars, with only varied amounts of vinegar added. The tums fizzed and dissolved quickly.

The other 3 jars with varied amounts of a water/vinegar mixture. The tums fizzed
and started to dissolve, but at a much slower rate than the other jars.
