Our homeschool group has been trying to get the fathers involved.  One of the ways has been to have them give a presentation to the children in whatever special topic the dad chooses.  Ben did a presentation involving military paintings about the 82nd Airborne.  He taught them the routine for jumping out of an airplane.  The kids got a kick out of that!  Here they are learning the routine:

Last Friday, one of the dads did a heart dissection.  He used a beef heart and the kids loved it!!

This is some major artery or vein.  I should’ve written this down.  It’s pretty cool to see like this though.  See the probe?

These are the heart valves.

Where the two year olds were during the dissection.

Some of the girls fell out early, some didn’t even make it to the table, but it was a great experience for most of the group.

    What a GREAT IDEA! I had never thought of doing this with a group and getting the dads involved.
