A Study of Butterflies

Outdoor Education Day

We had a fun day filled with science and learning.

We used compasses and found our true north.  It was a great game designed as a lead-up activity for orienteering.

We found far more critters in the woods and water than we had expected.

Many, many thanks to the volunteers and local wildlife agencies.  They all worked as a team for the love of learning...hands-on and outdoors.  

Ribbit Ribbit

Thanks to Jenna H. and family, we have the beginnings of another life cycle to study, observe, and record data and changes.

Motion - Basics of Physics

We made tops.  We learned about objects moving when acted upon by a force.  To spin effectively, the bulk of the weight needs to be near the base of the shaft.

Fun at Learning Centers

Who wouldn't smile at this?  You've got to love a spring garden and some creativity.  We'll work a bit on titles/abbreviations, though. LOL

Animal Allies Visit

Pat from Animal Allies presented information on how to react to strange dogs and cats.  She gave advice on how to report a stray or hurt animal.  She shared her favorite pets... a dog rescued from storms on the gulf coast and a hedgehog.
