M is for Moses

We started the Bible ABC's awhile back. We usually did these activities on Sundays when my child wanted something to do. Yes, she begs to learn! We have been attending children's church for several months, so she is satisfied with that. Recently, we had the opportunity to finish the lesson.

We broke this into several lessons because there was just too much to do.

Day 1:

Baby Moses

As always, DLTK had wonderful ideas for learning lessons. We love the color pages, crafts, and songs at this site.

We watched The Prince of Egypt video. Shayla really learned alot from this movie. Almost daily she talks about something new in the video.

She acted out the story by putting her babydoll in a basket boat.

Reading: We read and did motions to the story in the 100 Bible Stories/100 Bible Songs. Then we watched the story on the Read and See DVD Bible. We did these steps daily.

Music: We sang and did motions to He's Got the Whole World in His Hands from the stories mentioned above and Baby Moses from The Singing Bible.

Day 2:

M is for Mother

We read a lovely little book called I'm Glad I'm Your Mother by Bill and Kathy Horlacher. We discussed times when I was especially glad that I was Shayla's mother.

M is for Manners

We read A Child's Book of Manners by Ruth Shannon Odor. We discussed different scenarios and manners to be used in those situations. (social skills)

M is for Money

We read The Magic Money Box. We talked about the different coins, then we set up our own grocery store. Sorry no coupons! Shayla bought items with her coins. We only practiced which coins to use and counting - no change making today! (No coupons, either - another day, another lesson!)


My super shopper only spent $3.61 oop for two bags and a grocery cart full of savings! I'll bet I'd have a hard time beating that deal!

M is for Moon

We read Papa Please Get the Moon for Me by Eric Carle. We discussed how this story is just fantasy, but it's based on the actual phases of the moon. We started keeping a moon phase journal. Shayla will draw what the moon looks like each night.

Day 3:

Moses and the Burning Bush

As always, we did the color pages and songs from the above mentioned resources. Also, some time ago, I found sheets of stickers and scenes of Bible characters from the dollar store. Shayla loved putting stickers on the Moses one.

She used squeeze and paint brushes to paint a burning bush (art). We discussed color mixing and mixed red and yellow together to make a fire color (science).

Character: Shyness. We discussed how Moses told God he was not good at speech. Did God take that as an excuse? NO! I explained to Shayla that God gave Moses the words to speak, and that if we pray and practice, He will give her the words, too.

I explained that we can not tell others about Jesus if we do not use our words. We have been working on this issue since the beginning of the year.

Day 4: The Plagues

We did these sequencing cards about the whole story of Moses. Here and here. (language, sequencing)

We sang the song, Pharoah, Pharoah. This is an old, beloved song in our family. The youth minister at the church we used to attend used to put a shepherd hat (whatever they may be called)and dark sunglasses on. I can still see him dancing and grunting to that song. LOL! (music)

This is the second time we have done these studies on Moses. The first time was as a preschooler. I came up with activities for all of the plagues, but my memory is getting bad because I can't remember what we did! We couldn't do all the activities again either, because have other lessons planned to do.

You could google each of the plagues and plan a science plan around it. We were lucky enough to have hail today, so we discussed what hail is. Shayla was worried that it was a plague sent to us. LOL!

For frogs, we played flipping frogs. I bought these silly things at the dollar store years ago. We have used them so many times in so many ways. Recently she learned how to actually make them flip. But we have also used them many times for math. We counted them, categorized them by color, talked about distance and made estimates, I hid them around the house and she found them.

Several weeks ago we learned about tadpoles and frogs. We even went on a tadpole hunt Saturday, but did not find any yet.

Our study of the sight sense and the blindfold game we played worked well for the plague of darkness.

Day 5: The Ten Commandments

We found lots of little songs to help memorize the 10 Commandments. Her favorite was this one sung to Jingle Bells.

We also made the Moses papercraft.

M is for Mountain. God sent Moses up to Mount Sinai, so we learned about mountains. We looked on a map of the US and the world, pointed out and named all the mountain ranges we could find. We read a funny version of She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain. And sang the bear went over the mountain.

We would have really delved into learning about mountains for science, but this is summer fun schooling.

M is for Music. We are working on two Brownie scout badges for this part. I will post about them later.

Suggestions: Be fun, dance to silly music. Play instruments, make instruments, listen to different types of music.

A Noteworthy First Try

We have been trying to get my youngest daughter, Shayla, age 7, to try new things. She is very hesitant to do anything outside of her normal things. So, my New Year's Resolution was to work on her this year. My goal was to make her try something new each day. Then I write it down in a little pink notebook, now known as THE GREAT BIG BOOK OF EVERYTHING. Then at night, as part of the bedtime routine, we review all the big, new things she has tried.

Several weeks ago, we went to the library and Shayla got her very first library card.

To get the library card, you must go upstairs to the adult floor (which has always intimidated her. Probably because it's so big and quiet). And you have to write your own name on the back of the card. She is just now feeling confident enough to write her name when we attend outings.

So, she did it! Look how proud she is! I'm proud of her, too!

Earth is Our Home Brownie Try-It

Several of these badges are great to do in the month of April in honor of Earth Day. Although, Earth Day has actually passed, we are still enjoying these activities and I'm trying to keep Shayla excited about the topic because the BIG Earth Day celebration at our local state park is next week.

How Long Does It Take?

This will definately be fun to see. We buried some trash in a hole in our yard. We will dig it up a month from today to check the decomposition process.

I tried to represent all the types of recyclables, including a plastic bag, a plastic soda pop bottle, a glass jar, a steel food can, a piece of newspaper, and a cardboard food box.

Recycling

This is something we have done for many years. We do it every week on the way to scout meetings. I have explained to Shayla that we separate paper from cans and plastics.

We did discuss the kinds of products that the recyclables may be remade into.

Trash Busters

We had a family clean up time by helping Grandma with some of the leaves, yard waste, and trash in her yard. We did ours not long ago. Besides, it was supposed to be a service project.

Oil Spill

This was a cool experiment on pollution. Shayla really enjoyed doing it. I tried to get a picture, but her little hands were in the way with each one I took. Oh well, that's how it should be!

Make your own oil spill to compare to harmful pollution oil spills.

Fill a bowl with water. Add 3 Tbs. cooking oil and sprinkle ground red pepper or paprika. Drop bits of torn up paper, feathers, dandelion fluff, seeds, etc. Then take them out of the oil spill.

Explain that this is what happens to birds feathers, animal fur or fish gills when an animal habitat is polluted with oil. They become coated with oil just like the items mentioned above.

Now try to clean up the oil spill.

First, use cotton balls or a cotton rag to try to sop up the oil spill. How much oil can you clean up this way?

Secondly, since the cotton doesn't clean up all the oil, drop a few drops of dish detergent in the mixture. Explain why this creates a whole new pollution problem.

Create a MiniWorld Terrarium

Put a layer of sand, then soil and dead leaves in an empty peanut butter jar. We added some green moss. Water just a little, then put the lid back on the jar. Put somewhere not in direct sunshine. We will continue to observe this for changes.



Solar Cooker





Shayla and her dad built this solar cooker using the directions in the girl scout handbook. We have not been able to try it out yet, since the weather has not been good on the days we've been home!





We plan on trying hot dogs, brownies, cookies, maybe even bread in the summer.






Do you have any suggestions for cooking with a solar cooker?






We have not been able to try out the solar cooker yet. We have had rain, overcast skies, or cool temperatures since we constructed the thing. I'll post our findings at a later time!

*Note: I am having as much fun learning with scouts as Shayla! I sure wish my mom would have done these cool things with me!

Senses Brownie Scout Try-it

Sense of Sight

Now You See It
We made the optical illusion in the manual. We took a piece of plain cardboard and cut it into a square. Turned it so it looked like a diamond. Then we drew a fishbowl on one side and a fish drawn in the middle on the opposite side. Secure diamond to a pencil with tape.

Put pencil between your hands and twirl back and forth. The fish gives the optical illusion that it is in the fishbowl.

Sense of Hearing

Experiment 1: Blindfold. The other person tiptoes around the room and makes sounds, the blindfolded person uses hearing to locate the person.

Experiment 2: Turn some music or tv on low. Go to the other side of the room and listen to it. Then cup your hands around the outside of your ears and see if it gets louder.

We read Hear this! An exciting way to learn about your senses by Sally Hewitt. This book was full of great experiments (so we did way more than I originally planned, oh, the joys of homeschool).

How the Eardrum Works. Pull plastic wrap over top of a bowl, tightly. Put some rice on top. Bang a pan down close to the rice. You will see the rice "jump" from the vibrations just like the stretchy eardrum.

High and Low Sounds. Put water in a glass and tap with a spoon. Drink a drink of water and tap again (continue till the glass is empty). Does the sound get higher or lower as the water level gets lower? (Higher)

Near and Far. Make an old fashioned telephone. This didn't work very well for us, oh maybe that's because my head is still ringing from her yelling into my ear!

Making a Better Ear

We discussed different animals and the ways their ears are. I asked Shayla what animal she thought would hear the best. She thought animals with stand up ears, like a rabbit or horse.

We were going to design a new ear, but she thought it would be better to use this tube toy she has. It worked great until she decided to yell in my ear. UGH! My head is still ringing!

After she finished her timeout, we discussed the big ear exhibit at COSI.

Vibrations. This was from an old Family Fun magazine. Take a metal clothes hanger and tie 2 pieces of 20" long string to each end. At the other end of the string, make loops for fingers. Put your fingers in the loops and put your fingers in your ears.

Yes, Shayla, this time I am actually encouraging you to plug your ears.

Bump into things with the hanger (ie..a couch, a table, etc). You will feel the vibrations. Cool!

We also discussed why we sound different on tape than in person (because of vocal cord vibrations).

Finally we watched Here hear!

Sense of Touch

We watched a short video called The Skin I'm In.

We played a fun game called What's in Ned's Head. You have to close your eyes and stick your hand in to find gross objects, like Ned's dirty Qtip.

Can You Feel It?

Get two bags and put identical objects in each bag. We used spoons, socks, gloves, beans, coins, etc. Close your eyes. Reach in bag - without looking! Find the matching objects using your sense of touch.

Sense of Smell

Only the Nose Knows

I put items in several small cups (vanilla, cinnamon, lemon, baby powder). Cover eyes with a blindfold. See if you can figure out the objects using only your sense of smell. It's harder than it seems. Shayla did not get any of these correct! The second try she got two correct.

Sense of Taste

Mapping the Tongue

The handbook, as well as other books suggested blindfolding eyes and tasting different things. We didn't do that. Instead we did a worksheet from here.

Why didn't we do the hands-on experiments this time?

Well, first off, I have a picky eater.

Secondly, our food allergies make it impossible to eat most things that are recommended.

We did read some interesting figures. Did you know that a baby is born with around 10,000 taste buds. An adult only has around 9,000. An elderly person has 33% less. Interesting, maybe this is why so many kids are picky eaters. Because they can actually taste the stuff they're putting into their mouths. Maybe this is why they stop when they are full, too.

What's It Like?

What's it like to be missing one or more of your senses? We discussed Helen Keller, we watched a Signing Time DVD and we learned and did the Girl Scout Promise in sign.

We definately enjoyed working the senses badgework into our homeschool. I found an awesome book called Stop, Look & Listen: Using Your Senses from Head to Toe by Sarah Williamson. I was already into this theme when I found it. Maybe I will use it again sometime.

Homeschool Highlights - week of April 26, 2009

Days 155 - 161

These are some things that I forgot to add last week that we did:

Fine motor: Shayla had such a great time making the silly puppets from magazine pictures last week, that we did another activity along the same lines. We made silly pictures by cutting and gluing parts of different magazine pages together.

Science: At Wee Discover "outdoor school," the topic was flowers. The kids were each given a flower to plant along the walkway to the nature center and they made these simple paper flowers. (art)

Now onto this week:

Social skills/art: In honor of the Fancy Nancy books, our library held a soiree. That's fancy talk for a fancy, frilly girl party. The girls were encouraged to dress up as fancy as they liked. There were many tiaras, feather boas, and beautifully, fancy dresses. The girls decorated a foam tiara to take home, then listened to a Fancy Nancy story, made this simple paper butterfly, and the other girls had a snack of fancy cut peanut butter and jelly finger sandwiches, chocolate chip cookies, and lemonade.

This is our little diva at home and feeling comfortable.

This was when arriving at the library which she is very familiar with. She often unplugs her ears in anticipation of noise when there are other children around.

This is afterwards. She is holding the paper butterfly craft she made.

Now she has decided to put her tiara on again.

It was a fun thing. Shayla definately enjoyed it. She thanked me for taking the time to take her and paint her finger and toenails and curl her hair. She said she had a great time!

Reading/science/math/art: We found a foam ladybug flyer craft that we got somewhere, so we decided to make it today. Then we read Home Sweet Home and The Grouchy Ladybug. Next, we were talking about telling time thanks to the small clocks in The Grouchy Ladybug.

There's never a break from learning and homeschooling!

Fine Motor/Creativity: I stole this idea from Family Fun, too. We made a paperdoll playhouse. Shayla absolutely loved this idea. First I cut apart a large cardboard box. Then I covered several sheets of colored paper with clear contact paper for rooms of the house. Then glue the colored paper - paper side down onto the cardboard box. I did this so we can tape and use a gluestick on different furniture and people. We cut pictures out of old magazines to be our paperdolls and furniture. Shayla continued to work on this clear up to bedtime!

Reading: Still reading the Kit American Girl series. I'm planning on doing a depression era craft or something after each story to keep her interest up.

Shayla is reading Rub-A-Dub Cub (short u sound) by Innovative Kids. These are comparable to the Bob books. These actually work better for us because they offer a reward. Each book in the series has 4 stickers that have the characters of the book on them. She gets a sticker each day. After she gets her 4 stickers, she knows she gets to move to the next book.

Rub-A-Dub Cub is the fourth book in the series.

With the weather changing, it is difficult to keep Shayla's attention, besides, I plan to go back to literature based short lessons after she officially finishes first grade in 20 some days. So when I read Nina, Nina Ballerina by Jane O'Connor today I decided to do this cool butterfly art project that I seen on Crafty Crow, but hadn't found the time to do.

We read Stellaluna because we will be attending the Children's Theater Foundation production of this. We always like to read the book and have discussion about similarities and differences between the book and play.

We read The Bubble Factory by Tomie dePaola. Of course, we made our own bubble solution and had fun blowing bubbles. We tried using several different objects as bubble wands. Our favorite, a child's plastic clothes hanger, made HUGE bubbles. (reading, sensory, science)

The bubble recipe we used was:

1 Tbs. corn syrup

2 Tbs. dish soap

1 c. water

Math: Graphing coins. This was fun! We reviewed the names and counting by 1's, 5's, 10's, 25's and 50's.

Ordinal Numbers. Counted toys as first, second, third, etc. Completed several worksheets.

Addition review. Filling in an addition grid.

Writing: Still working on badge 2 - Psalm 1.

Spelling: Long a sound words. We played the game and read Jake's Tale at Starfall. Then I made another dictionary page with her words using Google image. She verbally told me the correct alphabetical order. Then she wrote the spelling words by the picture on her dictionary page.

Language: Parts of speech review. Completed a worksheet that was a butterfly when she colored the correct parts of speech.

Science: Attended Wee Discover. This weeks' theme was seeds. First the kids were given a paper plate with some seeds and other objects, such as pasta, buttons, etc. They were to sort the seeds in one group and everything else in another.

Shayla is sitting with the group of children. She's not plugging her ears! Hurray!

They planted seeds in the pots they decorated last week. And they started several seeds in a plastic see through cup full of wet paper towels. They should be able to see the whole seeding process in this way.

Science: Senses. Sight. We read The Magic School Bus Explores the Senses. We also looked at one of my old contact lenses closely. The Magic School Bus book talked about the cornea of the eye being not even as thick as the page in the book. I don't think Shayla fully understood how delicate our eye parts are until comparing the contact lens to the cornea. She enjoyed seeing it, looking through it (not in her eye)and of course, touching it.

There is is a scout badge for the senses, so we did the experiment listed in the badge book.

Now You See it Experiment

Take a piece of posterboard and cut into a square. Hold it so it looks like a diamond, not a square. Draw a fishbowl on one side and a fish (in the middle)on the other side of the posterboard.

Tape the diamond onto a pencil.

Hold the pencil between your hands and rub hands together. Look at the diamond. It gives the optical illusion that the fish is in the fishbowl.

Social Studies. Geography & Cultures. We are studying the United States first. First she located our country on a world map. I was surprised that she was unable to do that. UGH! Anyway, then we read a few facts about the U.S. in a library book. I made a map outline at eduplace.

I have decided to incorporate this into the Brownie try-it for People of the World. We are going to make a nice booklet of facts for each country that we do.

She identified and colored the state we live in one color, the states she has ever been to - another color, and states she would like to visit or learn about another color.

Science/Scouts at Home: Working on the Earth is Our Home badge. More about the importance of recycling and keeping our earth clean, in time for Earth Day. Shayla and her dad also constructed a solar oven, unfortunately we haven't been able to try it out yet because of bad weather.

Some days it seems like we're not doing enough even though we "play school" a minimum of four hours each and every day (7 days).

To read about days in other homeschoolers lives go to the Weekly Wrap up at Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers.

Homeschool Highlights - Week of April 14 - 19, 2009

Once again I did not get this post ready for the weekly wrap up. Maybe I'll just do it a week behind our schedule.

To see what others (more prompt)people are doing in their homeschools, visit Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers

Days 143 - 148

Read Aloud: I love the Berenstain Bears series. I love how the books teach lessons in behaviors. They are good discussion starters. Shayla got three new ones for Easter, so we spent time reading and discussing them.

We've also been reading about a chapter a day of the Kit American Girl Collection. We are also learning about the depression age period and comparing it with today's situation. After we finish the collection, we will watch the Kit movie.

Scouts at Home: We finished up the Dancercize Brownie Try-it. (music & movement)

We started work on Earth and Sky and Earth is our Home badges, just in time for Earth Day. (science)

Math: Graphs. We made graphing fun by counting and graphing shoes (by color) and m&m candies.

Art: Shayla finished up her art assessment book by making texture bugs. This has really been a fun way to teach and learn art. And you can't beat the price FREE.

Phonics/motor skills: We made an alphabet book by cutting out letters and pictures from magazines for each letter of the alphabet. She really got into this activity. We even spent several hours Friday night and Saturday working on it!

Science: Attended Outdoor School at the local state park. This week's topic was birds. They made an edible birds nest craft.

Field Trip: A trip to the eye doctor for her annual appointment and a library visit. More on this in a later post! Big news for her!

Homeschool Highlights - April 19 - 25, 2009

To see a peek into other people's homeschooling, check out the weekly wrap up.

Days 149 - 154

Reading/Therapy time: We spent an hour and a half reading the books for anxiety and SM that I bought for discussion.

We made Shayla's Feeling Book. It is using the 1-5 system. One being comfortable, two being nervous, five being in meltdown mode (and everything in between!) We put numbers and corresponding facial feelings on tags, then secured with a metal ring. Shayla helped me make this. The plan is that she will carry it around for awhile and point to how she is feeling at different places. I'm hoping this will bring more communication and understanding.

Fine Motor: We did an activity that we seen in Family Fun magazine. We made puppets by cutting different facial features from different people. Then we glued them to a craft stick.

Later, Shayla and dad put on a puppet show with them.
Aren't they lovely?

Language: Alphabet order. We did a worksheet on alphabetical order. I don't think she gets it.

Spelling: Review week. We discussed dictionaries and looked at one, then we made our own picture dictionary using spelling words for the last 5 weeks. I went to Google image and searched for pictures to go with each of her spelling words. Then I saved them to documents, made labels according to the weeks (short a, short e, etc). She cut out the pictures, we put them in alphabetical order, then she wrote the word beside each one.

She definately understood abc order after this exercise. And such a neat project to make and show family and friends!

*Note to self: I think I will make these up and add to her dictionary on a weekly basis as part of her spelling activities. It took entirely too long to search images for five weeks of spelling words!

Science: Senses. We read several library books on the senses.

• Stop, Look & Listen: Using Your Senses from Head to Toe by Sarah Williamson (I love these books!)



• You Can't Smell a Flower With Your Ear! by Joanna Cole (author of the Magic School Bus series)



• And my personal favorite, Look Here! An exciting way to learn about your senses by Sally Hewitt

Sense of sight. We started this topic last week because Shayla and I had an eye doctor appointment. We frequently discuss things with her before they happen to reduce anxiety, BUT not too far in advance or it creates more anxiety!




We read books specifically about sight. Then came the fun stuff! Here's what we did:

• We studied some braille writing.



• We took turns leading each other around the house with a blindfold on. We decided that we would have to do some major housecleaning/decluttering if we became blind!



• We played Pin the glasses on Arthur. Similar to pin the tail on the donkey game. *I had this game made up from another time, I didn't see it, but I provided the home page so you could look around if you're interested.



• Blindfold one eye. Hold a pen without the lid out in front of you. Try to put the lid on the pen. It's not so easy!



• In the same style, we got out our big basket of balls. Shayla enjoyed throwing the balls into the basket. Then, I blindfolded one eye. It appeared that the basket was closer than it was. Most of the balls fell just short of the basket. (phys ed)

You can see she enjoyed playing the blindfold games, but in the end, we agreed that we are thankful for our sight!


*I think she was blind when she picked out this color combination of clothes! LOL! But at least she's doing it herself!


We continued work on letter M. This covered various subjects.




We read the Earth Day story and played the recycling game at starfall. (reading)




Science: We did an experiment for fun that I found in Homeschool Enrichment magazine (Nov/Dec 2008). Morgan even became interested, so it must be cool.

Specials/Science: Earth Day. We finished up the Earth and Sky Brownie Badge. You can read about the activities here.

Petrified Paper

1. Mix a level Tbs. epsom salt with 2 Tbs. water on a plate.



2. Fold a paper towel into quarter and then roll it into a log. Sop up the epsom salt/water mixture with the paper towel and let it evaporate to dry. (This can take several days, I put ours near our woodstove, so it was ready in 24 hours)



3. Wood petrifies, or turns stonelike as dissolved minerals in water slowly replace the wood fiber.

After your log completely dries, feel it, then try to burn it. With mom's help, please!

It will not burn! Cool, huh? My kids and I were impressed, but it doesn't take much. LOL!

Earth and Sky Brownie Try-it

Just in time for Earth Day, we are going to be working on the Earth and Sky and Earth is Our Home badges.

Rooting Around

Last week we discussed trees and briefly talked about the job of the roots of plants. Today I drew a sketch of a flower on the whiteboard and compared the roots to a straw, slurping up water and minerals from the soil.

Then comes the fun stuff, we are going to try to start a carrot, potato, and a plant by sprouting roots. Just put them in a jar of water with toothpicks around to keep it at the top. The plant you can just place in the water. We will be observing these daily.

As of today, (Tuesday) the carrot has two long roots and the potato is starting to sprout underneath and on top. The plant still is doing nothing.

The Soil

We read several library books about soil:

We dug three holes, 1" deep, 3"deep, and 6" deep. We looked closely and identified plants, animals, and rocks.

Shayla really enjoyed getting dirty for the first time I can remember. LOL! She was upset at first by the knees of her jeans having dirt on them. As you can imagine, she quickly recovered!

We put some soil on the bottom of jar one, then we added a layer of sand, the top layer was earthworms (we put six in), grass, dried leaves and we will add some potato peels after evening meal. The experiment is to see what kind of food worms prefer and how long it takes them to eat it. It shows how beneficial it is to have plenty of worms in the garden. This idea came from the Down to Earth book.

The second jar we just filled halfway with soil, then we filled the other half with cold water. Shake it for 30 seconds. Let it sit for 20 minutes, then you can see all the plant life that lives in the soil.

The Sky's My Home!

In between of showers today, we went outside and were "sky watchers." We seen many birds and discussed how they move and of course acted out the gliding and flapping of birds.

We decided to make a simple bird feeder. Toast a piece of bread, spread with peanut butter, then cover with birdseed. Make two holes in the top and tie a piece of yarn to hang it from a tree. I chose orange so maybe the birds would see it. It'll be interesting to see if the birds take the yarn to build a nest, too.

Going, Going, Gone

We discussed soil erosion and the causes. We looked at our creek for a small example of soil erosion. We'll check out the cliffs at the state park tomorrow.

We built a 24 inch mound of sand to demonstrate erosion. Shayla poured water slowly onto it to see in fast forward speed what happens to soil in nature. Even though I said slowly, it wasn't slowly enough to snap a picture, but it was a fun experiment.

Our Air

Over the next few weeks we will be checking the air quality outside by hanging strips of tape (sticky side up)and trying to identify the particles.

Hot and Cold

We talked about thermometers. We decided that digital thermometers are much easier to read than the old type. We decided that we would use Grandma's atomic clock with the weather on it.

But, we did find out these fun facts.

• Water freezes at below 32 degrees F.


• Water boils at 212 degrees F.


• The normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees F.
