Air, Water and Land

Image
We put on our "Scientist Caps" and have been doing experiments  learning the differences in Air, Water and Land.  Air I cannot see air. Is it really there?   The air in the bottle pushes on the water keeping the water from going in the bottle.    The air in the balloon has weight. It is heavy and moves the scale down.     Ice water makes the air cold and the slow moving molecules do not inflate the balloon.   Hot water heats up the air making it rise up and fills the balloon.     If we suck the air out of the cup it sticks to our faces.  Water We learned that water is more than 70% of the earth's surface, within five oceans.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IAQTtXqcNA Sink and Float  What is heavier than water?

Some Turtles can live for more than 100 years.     What is a reptile? Reptiles are animals that are cold...

Purim Fun

     Why Do We Dress Up on Purim?         Here is a sampling of the story: The  king wanted his wife to come to a party ; she did not want to, and she was killed. Then an  evil man wanted the Jews dead  and plotted to accomplish this with the approval of the king. The king remarried, and his new queen happened to be Jewish, and arranged for the decree to be  countered . Only after the fact, when one looks at the entire story, does one realize the great miracle that transpired.  The  Talmud  writes that just as the Jews at the time pretended to be serving other gods,  G‑d  pretended that He was going to destroy the Jewish nation, and in the end He did not.
