The other two experiments we did came from the MSB science kit. Bean enjoyed that one, but I’m sure it’s because matches and fire were involved. The first one is the very simple, but very effective, extinguish a candle by cutting off its oxygen supply. We did three experiments to show how respiration works. Books*Again we had The Respiratory System (True Books) on our list to read, but didn’t read it. This lesson went over well as well because the experiments were fun. First we counted how many times our hearts beat in one minute while resting.Ī great resource if you are trying to reach people who may not know what Operation Christmas Child is, or are interested in learning about the project. Activities*Heart: we used a toilet paper tube to listen to our heartbeats (cheap and effective). Bill Nye the Science Guy: Blood and Circulation. All About the Blood and Heart: Human Body for Children. Books*Bean read The Magic School Bus Has a Heart*We have, but didn’t read,The Circulatory System (True Books)Videos.

Bean is still walking around using the improvised stethoscope we made in the MSB science kit. This was a popular lesson because of the experiments.
