Mixing it Up

This semester, our science focus is on mixtures and solutions.  The scholars are very eager to put on their googles and mix it up.

When I say it's time for Science, they all put on their googles and get ready to work.  It's so cute how they "google up" even for note taking time.  I love their enthusiasm to learn new things.   Students have learned about filters and screens, solutions, saturated solutions, dissolving solids into liquids, crystallization, concentration and dilution, and evaporation.  

 

Happy Spring

Every few years, my family purchases baby chicks to replace older hens that have passed or stop laying eggs.  This was one of those years.  A month ago, I brought a few fuzzy beauties in for the students to hold and pet.  They were sure a bit hit.  For some of my students, this was the first time they ever held a chick.

Now, a month later, those cute fuzzy little chicks have grown into awkward gangly teen-chicks.  I can't bring them in because they will fly and mess all over.
