Homeschool Journal 9/2/16

In History we learned about India. No one knows how the Indus Valley civilization ended. The Indus River flooded every year. The Amorites were able to take over Sumer. We read eight poems about random things. In Science we learned about bioplastic, hydroponics, supermarket technology and dry shampoo. Bioplastic is biodegradable.hydroponics is growing plants in nutrient rich water so you don’t need soil. Dry shampoo sticks to dirt so you can comb it off because it is big enough with the shampoo stuck too it. In our experiment we timed how long it took our four liquids to slide down some wax paper taped to a jar at an angle. I had to write a peace treaty with at least five articles but I could not think of one so Mom let me write a constitution instead. I also had to write a poem, I tested out my theory that if yo close your eyes, open a dictionary and point to a random word it will make just as much sense as a regular poem. It worked!

All I did yesterday was Math and Spelling because we were packing for a trip to New York. In Math I did more on negatives.
