The morning session included several laboratory demonstrations of Changes in Matter, followed by a self guided tour of the centre's current Biodiversity Exhibit. This exhibit included a model veterinary clinic and I must admit that I was quite pleased to see CKW enjoying himself while viewing radiographs, auscultating hearts, and repeatedly watching several wildlife surgery films. Perhaps I'll make a vet out of him yet!
The afternoon was a laboratory session for the students: Measuring Air and Water. Each student had their own computer and lab equipment, but CKW's age group did their experiments with lab partners. They had to measure the weight of air in a balloon, test an hypothesis regarding the mixing of water at two different temperatures, and finally, test an hypothesis regarding the mixing of salt with ice water.

CKW had a ball! October Homeschool day cannot come soon enough for him!
