In the kids' science this week (maybe two or three weeks at the rate we are going!) they are learning (relearning) about dinosaurs- fossils more specifically. I am still using the LIFEPACs for Science, Language Arts and Math. I look through the workbooks to see what will be needed for the experiments in Science and this workbook finally has experiments that we can do with minimal purchased items. Except for the plaster of paris (POP). But at the same time, I know there is the little warning about cancer causing properties in the POP.
I
found this site on how to make simple plaster mixture that you use like POP. Sounds simple enough and I have all the ingredients needed. If you search for how to make plaster, you come up with many different sites.
It's nice when it comes together so easily. We are going to make 'fossils' but I am guessing our fossils will be interesting specimens.
