Science 2024-25

Image
In addition to a variety of topics covered at home, many special studies and weekly nature/world-themed documentaries, Zadok and Qorban both completed grade-appropriate science courses at the homeschool co-op. Zadok won quite a few prizes for exceptional work. I personally taught Qorban's grade level. This year, we focused on land-dwelling animals, with additional forays into topics like the human body, germs, parasites, and various kinds of plants. Each year, we grow a garden with a wide variety of plants and observe the insects, birds, and plant life in our neighborhood. Qorban has kept slugs, millipedes and woodlice as pets and subjects of observation, and Zadok (who hopes to have a pet snake someday) has taken over the responsibility of caring for his aunt's birds (who live with us.)

Art 2024-25

  Both boys enjoy drawing, coloring, and learning about art and music. They completed a short art elective this past spring and did a lot of guided drawing videos on Youtube.  In addition to creating lots of sketches of interesting machines that might work, like this bird-shaped glider, Qorban created a twenty-page comic book called "The Mars Construction" with detailed images of the first Mars colony being established.  Zadok does a lot of drawing, too. His big artistic achievement for this year was his poster detailing the life of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It was part of his end of year history presentation.
