usetoschool Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 This is the one that came to mind off the top of our heads: Not origami that kids can do but really amazing to watch and at the end talks a lot about how the process of origami has helped with designs of some space and medical stuff.

nitascool Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Right now we're doing a family garden and have decided to become Weekday Vegetarians so all our focus of late has been on food. We started going through TED's Chew On This Series. Our favorite is Dan Barber's How I Fell in Love With a Fish Second Favorite is Dan Barber's Foie Gras Parable But we haven't finished the series yet. Our Current non-food top pics are: Questions no one knows the answers to and The cockroach beatbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth in SW WA Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Dd9 just paused this in the middle and said, "We need math for finding out how far the planets are away from each other, for figuring out how to build cars and computers and to find out how much to tithe." :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine is such a delightful age.:) That's when my dd wanted to be a ballerina, a mathematician, a mommy, and a cleaning lady when she grew up (how I wish that she was still interested in cleaning up:tongue_smilie:). Btw, the girl is the video is such an amazing, brilliant, and NICE young lady (and off to harvard in the fall..she had wonderful college choices).
