Attempts at Outlining SOTW3 Chapters 14 and 17

This is my amateur attempt to prepare an outline that these students could use to organize the information, and they might ask some why questions while learning during the early modern history course this year.

Periodic Table Chemistry Study - Logic Stage Week#15: Halogens

Completed Week of Chemistry study the week before Thanksgiving as follows:

Tiner, Exploring the World of Chemistry, Chapter 9: Compounds by Electric Attraction p.70

Sketch Nitrogen cycle with examples from p.26 of Carol Baldwin's Nonmetals. 

Define Diatomic gas?  What are the elements in the airline oxygen supply?   

Relate that to DK Chemistry pages 30-31 and laughing gas with which elements? 

Tell me as much as possible about Phosphorus and Sulfur from pages 34-35.

Describe the importance of Halogens from pages 36-39

Note: There are lots of websites noted here, but all are exposed under the direct observation of the Mommy. We're still working on wise choices around here.  One video source that is always allowed comes from University of Nottingham. They are spot on in keeping even me learning about Chemistry and liking the process. 

Geography of Germany: Maps & Research

G#2 labeled the states and rivers of Germany

and Strasbourg, France

Thanksgiving Field Trips Rock!

No, we didn't fall off the face of the earth. Yes, we did school including SOTW3 Chapters 14 & 17 as well as Logic Stage Chemistry about Halogens prior to leaving for the trip.  But, better than that we experienced and discussed Louis XIV and the Prussians along with "states" of Germany, and who the Fredericks of Prussia and Brandenburg were.  We visited the castle in Heidelberg where Frederick brought his new wife, Elizabeth Stuart (greatgreatgreat something grandmother of the George III who dealt poorly with American colonists during Revolutionary War), the daughter of James I (King James Bible guy).  We walked where the 30 Years War took place in the 1600s.  We relished the unique environment of Christmas Markets while exploring how cormorants dive forever in the frigid, eddying waters of the Rhine River branch that surrounds the Grand 'Ile of Strasbourg.

So, now we recover from jet lag and ignore the evening hours b/c we're temporarily ALL morning people around here. We put together a gingerbread house for the first time, and fill the new Advent calendar before Advent ends. We find the Christmas tree and let kids decorate b/c it's their turn again. We put away all the clean laundry from the trip and plan our Christmas shopping and recipes for treat plates to share.  Thanksgiving trips are a blessing and we wouldn't miss this opportunity for family trips to worlds where we'd never dreamed were possible to reach before the changes of 2006 & 2007.  We look forward to time with other family and friends during a time of the year when all are blessed by a 2000 year Blessing.
