Every Thursday, Anna, Lydia and I do a science experiment that relates to what we learned the rest of the week. We are learning about weather right now, so we’ve made a weather vane, a rain catcher, and this past week, a thermometer. To make your own thermometer (just in case you ever feel the need to do so) you must first take a bottle (here in Malawi, a glass coke bottle works best) and fill it with water and a little bit of red food coloring. Then, wrap clay around a clear straw and put it in the bottle. And, you have your very own thermometer. This experiment was one of our favorites, and the girls are so enthusiastic about learning new things not only in science, but in every subject.
