The Excretory System

I'm finding that the more we delve into the systems of the body, the more questions my kids have about the way the body  works.  it has been extremely interesting to see the cogs turn in their little minds.  Part of me thinks "Why did I let their teachers at school have this interaction with them for the last six year instead of myself."  but I guess you do as well as you know how.  Had I known how rewarding and fun homeschool was,  I would have been doing this all along.

Khan Academy - Excretory system
(just a little warning - this lesson does use the word "PEE"  just in your sensitive about potty words.  With as many doctors visits with our son who has ulcerative colitis, we've had to get over our reserves in the potty word area).  It also talks about having a "hang over", which I don't necessarily like but there is a science behind it.
