I would like to share with you Free Topics of the Week August 4 – 10 which I will be looking into this year when Charlie goes back to school. As I was adding these resources to my spreadsheet I thought you might like to check out these Homeschooling resources as well.

Ecosystems: Connected and Balanced

Ecosystems: Connected and Balanced — A sea otter pops to the ocean surface along the Pacific coast, surrounded by strands of giant seaweed called kelp. The otter floats on its back as it grasps a spiny sea urchin–one of the otter’s favorite foods.

Clemens, the Steamboat Pilot

Clemens, the Steamboat Pilot — When Sam Clemens was 21 someone told him that the coca plant had amazing powers, so he took a steamboat from St. Louis to New Orleans. He was going to continue to Brazil, but he never made it to South America. However, the steamboat journey reminded him of a childhood dream to be a riverboat pilot, and he persuaded a current boat captain to teach him.

A Day in the Life of a President

A Day in the Life of a President — Until about 1930, most presidents did not work long days. Theodore Roosevelt got a lot done as president. But he worked only in the morning, exercised all afternoon, and read at night.

Hides, Scales, and Other Animal Skins

Hides, Scales, and Other Animal Skins — Birds have feathers, and mammals have hair. Scales are usually found on reptiles and fish, but some birds and mammals have them, too.

The Steam Engine

The Steam Engine

In 1712, an English inventor named Thomas Newcomen came up with a machine—a steam engine—that could remove water from mines.

Thank you,
