Maximilian Kolbe

We are learning about saints. I enjoyed learning about what Maximilian did. I found it difficult to find the information because there was a lot of stuff that he did.

Maximilian’s feast day is on August 14th.
He is the patron of drug addicts, prisoners, and families. He was born on January the 8 in 1894.  His real name was Raymund Kolbe.

Maximilian was taken to a prison and he used to pray for the guards. Then one day this man was going to be executed. Maximilian said, “Execute me,” because the other man had a wife and a son and a daughter. So they executed Maximilian. He died in August 14 in 1941.

Copper nails

We were learning how to transfer iron nails to copper. I enjoyed watching the copper transfer to the iron nails.

 Here is my explanation...

Have you ever wondered how copper transfers to iron nails? First we put salt and vinegar in a cup then we put the copper in the cup. Then we wait an hour then we pulled out the copper wire it started to rust then we put the copper wire in a cup. Then we put the iron nails in the cut the nail were absorbing the copper the next day the nails had turned into copper nails.
