Polymers, Solubility, and Recycling

 
A HUGE shout out to the L.S.U. chemistry department. We had some awesome students visit and teach us more about the importance of taking care of our environment and what biodegradable means. We loved the activity they allowed us to take part in called, "Disappearing Styrofoam and Starch".

Pumpkins, Buoyancy, Germination and More!





What a wonderful time my Busy Bees had investigating pumpkins and seeds this week! We explored pumpkins, sink and float, germination and more. We discovered that pumpkins are buoyant and float! We learned a song about buoyancy. We enjoyed having a special guest reader, too. It's been a great week of learning and discovery!

Happy Columbus Day


 We had a great time learning about and celebrating Columbus Day. We enjoyed making edible ships and eating them as a snack. We traced Columbus' route to San Salvador and put on our engineering hats to design our own ships.

Investigating Weather - Cloud in a Jar



We celebrated an awesome week with an amazing and simple science experiment, Cloud in a Jar! A cloud in a jar is a weather science experiment that gave my Busy Bees a chance to explore clouds and rain in a hands-on and engaging way! They enjoyed watching the colored water seep down through the shaving cream and into the water below. Just like rain! After working up an appetite experimenting, we enjoyed some awesome cookies from Ryder, our Student of the Week.
