Science Lab- Exploring the Five Senses

Our Fall Pumpkin Day!

Penny Science Lab

Caterpillars and Butterflies

Our caterpillars are now in a chrysalis state and we are so excited to watch the lifecycle of turning into a butterfly. Each year the butterflies really keep me on my toes and this year was no exception- we actually had to have a little health procedure done to the butterflies that involved three other people (thank you Nikki, Lynn, and Kathy for all of your butterfly medical advice and especially for Nikki for actually performing the procedures on these delicate creatures), a tricky trip down the hall that involved a chair with wheels, a few tense moments, a panic phone call to Nikki's second grade class, and a lot of brainstorming. But the good news is that it appears that everything is back on track and the chrysalis' look happy (?) and healthy. Stay tuned for pictures of when we release the butterflies (keep your fingers crossed that all goes well:)

Investigating and Exploring Shadows

Today we had a shadow lab with Mrs. Law and used a flashlight to investigate how shadows change depending on where the light comes from.
