Remember the sweet chocolate colored chicks we hatched last fall? Well, they are all grown up and having chicks of their own! The rooster in the picture is Mo. He had a yellow Mohawk when he was a chick.

These really are beautiful creations made out of trash! Third grade environmentalists demonstrated how you can reuse items instead of throwing them away. This video is only a sampling of the 63 projects all displayed in the Media center. Come by and see them!

I added another animal to our menagerie in the science lab. I hope the tadpoles sprout legs before school ends. Kindergarten biologists are studying metamorphosis.

Is it possible to cut a piece of paper in a way that you can step through it? My Pre-First scientists didn’t think there was a way until we completed this investigation.

I was checking on our invertebrates and saw something in the bottom of our snail habitat.  To my amazement, our snails have laid eggs! Snails lay their eggs under the soil, so seeing a snail’s eggs is rare.

Many of you know that the ducks on our retention pond were hatched in the science lab last May. Zip and Percy are both male ducks and Uno, the white pekin, is a female. Well, it is spring and Zip and Percy were no longer being friendly. We decided to move Zip to Mrs. Gammage’s pond with her ducks. Everyone is happy now! This is Zip with his new friends.

I try to make every corner in my room alive with science.
