Who knew science could be so fun, and calorie-filled? (ha)
For science this year, we are using Apologia's Young Explorer Series book "Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology." So far, we are all enjoying it very much.
Do you know the difference between anatomy and physiology?
Sara says, "Anatomy is how your body is made, and physiology is how it works."
We made cell models out of gelatin, which represented the cytoplasm. Then we inserted several different candies to show the different organelles, or "little organs," such as mitochondria (ever read "A Wrinkle in Time?"), lysosomes, and the endoplasmic reticulum, to name a few.
Is it obvious that Kyla does not like gelatin?
