Jillian has been our Number One Leaf Collector this week She is now joined daily by others seeking beautiful leaves. Yesterday Jillian was using the magnifying glass to get a closer look at the leaves. We sat down for an outside picnic for snack, placing the magnifying glass in a bin near the leaves. Apparently, the sun was shining just right through the glass while we were eating, because suddenly we saw smoke! This was a fascinating accidental experiment for our Etzim children (and yes, the teachers.) We explored the power of the sun rays through the glass with a number of different items. We can now report with confidence that we can ignite a dried leaf and a dandelion.
