The boys built a solar system on BRAINPop.com and we talked about different gravitational pulls of the planet and what that means for Earth. We found out that Jupiter protects Earth from asteroids and comets because they usually crash into it because it is so large and such a strong gravitational pull, at just the right distance away from us. We looked at Exploring Creation with Astronomy for this.

There is also this fly to Mars game that I'll show them when they come in from playing cricket :)

He also played this game where he had to estimate measurements in order to sink a submarine

William played some word/phonics games on Literactive.
