Poppins Book Nook: If you are a hunter of fossils

Welcome back to another month of the Poppins Book Nook!  Our book plan took a nose dive about a week ago.  None of the ones we had picked out seemed to be a hit with Conner.  Then, I seen this one and thought it was a fit! 

The book is about a fossil hunter in Texas that was looking for signs of an ancient sea.  I did have to change the wording in the book somewhat as it talks about the earth being millions of years old.  So, I changed those to thousands of years.

I took him to Caesars Creek State Park to a spot where the glaciers came through thousands of years ago to fossil hunt!  He had a blast!!

Half way up!!

Don't forget to check out the other hosts in this month's virtual book hop!

Answers in Genesis: The Human Body Unit 4 The Digestive System

Lesson 19 The Digestive System

 For the first experiment, I gave him a cracker and asked him to chew it up.  I asked what it felt like in his mouth.  Then I gave him another cracker and told him to hold it in his mouth for 1 minute.  I asked him how this felt in his mouth.  Then we discussed how our mouth aids in the digestion process.

Next we demonstrated a stomach.  I put water in a ziploc bag and had him put a piece of bread in it.

Then we sealed it up.

Then he started to mash the bag with his fingers just like the muscles in the walls of our stomach do.

Then we colored and put our body parts on our fridge man!  These can be found in the workbook that is found in the link HERE.

Lesson 20 Teeth

I had him put this worksheet together on the tooth.  It can be found in the workbook that is HERE.

Lesson 21 Dental Health

For this lesson, we talked a lot about dental health.  I also had him make imprints of his teeth in play doh.

Lesson 22 Nutrition

We talked about eating a balanced diet and completed this worksheet found in the workbook.  See link above!

Lesson 23 Vitamins and Minerals


For this lesson, I kinda linked all together and went to the Bible.  We read John 6:35 and talked about how we are what we eat.  Not just food wise, but also other things that we intake like tv, radio, read, or hear.  There is healthy and unhealthy food, just like there is healthy and unhealthy things.  Read Ezekiel 3:1-4.  In it Ezekiel eats a scroll (Bible).  After eating it, he can speak the gospel.  Read John 6:27-35.  In these verses, we read that Jesus is our manna, our life.  We are what we eat.  We can eat junk food to our souls, or we can eat soul food.
