They got out the magnetix this morning and Nathan made these glasses for Danielle.

We continued to read a bunch of our library books today - read about whales and then another book on the Titanic. This led to many conversations...what SOS means and how we can make the signals using light, what it looks like in its ...---... form and what that sounds like. Nathan was enthralled with looking at the letter and number codes all written out. We then got out some torches and made our own signals.

We then had conversations about the media and how they can often report things incorrectly, or omit information or skew information completely which is what happened after the Titanic went down and how this still happens today in regards to all sorts of information that is passed on.

It also came up about how most people who died in the water wasn't from drowning but from the cold - and this tied in with him asking me yesterday about people climbing Mt Everest (now that's a conversation that's been going on and comes and goes for over a year now) who can die from hypothermia. He sure does like to delve into the morbid topics...

We talked about the role of scientists and researchers in their search for "facts" and how different words can change the meaning ie using the word "might" and "may" doesn't mean something is fact.

We then discussed how lessons can be learned after errors happen and how that can help us ensure similar things don't occur again by making improvements to how we do things.
