We are studying the planet of Venus, which is covered with volcanoes.  This is one of the projects recommended in Apologia's Exploring Creation With Astronomy.  The butter represents lava which is soft, molten rock.  The experiment shows that as time passes, the molten lava hardens back into rock.

We are not doing formal schoolwork this week because we are in the midst of indoor camp-meeting, but we are still taking the time to do our Bible studies.  Journey Through the Bible by V. Gilbert Beers.  has been great because it spurs some wonderful conversations.  Today's chapter mentioned the shofar.  We had fun listening to and watching Youtube videos about the shofar.
