LOTS of science this week! We studied the Common Loon as part of our Ornithology unit, students planned and completed their crayfish investigation, we observed our germinating seeds as part of our Structures of Life unit and even had a black swallow tail emerge for its cocoon! These students are wonderful scientists!

In science we have been studying structures. Students started working with crayfish this week, investigating them and looking at their structures. We were very excited to host our new classroom pets! At the end of the week we did some blogging about the crayfish and our experiences with them so far. Make sure to check out our blog! http://kidblog.org/Rm17ScienceBlog11-12/

We finally got snow this week! In science, as part of our structures unit, we took a look at various kinds of seeds and observed our plants that are beginning to grow. We also started learning about the phases of the moon as part of our SUN, MOON and STARS unit.
