Wow! That sounds great. I don't recall doing these kinds of things until middle school, and even then it rarely happened that we did anything really fun. I loved school, but I would have loved it a lot more had I been able to raise mealworms, grow plants, study geology, etc.

I love all of the science activities. We are really science heavy at our house; we too could spend the majority of our time on it. I have to schedule it as the last thing in our school day because we are so prone to "disappearing" into it and losing an hour or more.

Thanks so much for sharing!
