{Classical Conversations} Cycle 3 | Week 23

We’re really simplifying this year. You can see our Game Plan here.
Here are activities I found when we did Cycle 3 last time. I’ve added a book list at the bottom which also includes resources relevant to Geography.

History: Preamble of the U.S. Constitution

Mia decided to be a History Memory Master which CC does not recognize on a national level but our community will recognize via parent-issued certificates at our end-of-year party.  With her and PJ both studying, we will have history-lite at our house the next two weeks while they spend extra time reviewing material.

• For older kids.
• For younger kids (with art crossover).  The Visual Thesaurus may help if your kids have brain block on drawing pictures.

I also found great hand motions and a visual. It’s a Word document, so you can right click on the link to save it.

The best book seems to be We the Kids: The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States.  We may also use the Schoolhouse Rock: America Rock song to memorize it instead of the CC version.

Science: Charles’ Gas Law

Basically, this law states that gas expands when it gets hotter and contracts as it gets cooler.

This is Lesson 21 in Christian Kids Explore Chemistry or you can get a similar activity here.

P.S.  I wish I had found www.middleschoolchemistry.com earlier.  I probably would have used it instead of Christian Kids Explore Chemistry .
