Row, Row, Row Your Boat!

Or should I say blow your boat? Last week during our creation studies, we studied wind and its power. The boys tried out a little wind power of their own. We made home made sail boats and tested them out.
I put out cookie sheets filled with water. We dyed the water blue with food coloring. Our boats are made from little plastic cups that I cut the tops of off. The mast is a drinking straw and we used card stock for the sail. The boys tried regular blowing and then blowing with a straw. Both methods worked well!

I appreciate the library late fees post, too! Luckily for us, our library doesn't charge late fees on children's books!! :))
