Music

This video is bland to watch, but it explains notes and rests really well. I encourage you to find your favorite music and try finding the quarter note, eighth note, half note, and whole note beats along with the song.

 After you practice the above video, here is a fun video to try to tap the beat along with.

Science

Last week we watched a NOVA documentary about the Sun (You can find on Netflix).

The first part of the video talks about a solar storm. My kids found that interesting, but the best part starts around 11 minutes in when they begin to discuss how scientists can understand the parts of the sun that we are memorizing.

In the video above they predict the next solar storm will occur in 2013.  Last weekend my husband came across this video and article of a solar storm that happened in September!
