(Liam with his Archimedes mobile)Ahhh, a book about science....Connor was in heaven! and Archimedes no less, I suppose he'd have been happier with one about Newton, but he had fun...as did all of us with this read.
We created an Archimedes mobile....harder to get it balanced than you think!
Well done!
We read about the Archimedes screw. To see a screw in action we used the wheat grinder to grind wheat kernels and.....
turn the flour into pie...or is that Pi crust! He discovered (among a zillion other things), the numerical equation to represent the area of a circle--or pi.
We read about his discovery of buoyancy, his love for geometry and how it thrilled him to see that his inventions really did work, (not just in theory), and used to protect his country from invasion of the Roman army.
We enjoyed reading about his life and all the wonderful things he did and discovered.
