Although we are done our 'book work' for school, learning is NEVER done!
Once June is done, we are full on SUMMER HOLIDAYS, but for now we are adventuring into some hands on fun activities to review what we have learned in science this year!
Below, Noah is being a FLOWER DETECTIVE.
He had to examine the plants/flowers, name the plant family, determine what kind of leaves and petals they have and to take it one step further, I showed him the planting instructions on the little tags as well (like how far to plant from one another, how tall they will grow, where to plant like in full sun or shade, etc).
We had fun that day, then came home with some herbs to make a potting garden of herbs on our deck!
We also talked about recycling (which is an ongoing conversation in our house) and the environment.
We decided to recycle some old milk & juice cartons to make some bird feeders.
So far, we haven't had any luck with birds coming to eat our FREE FOOD.
Any suggestions to attract the birds???
Noah looks out several times a day...but no luck yet.
Well now this project (so far) has been the most fun...of course, because it's eatable!!!
To review the layers of the universe, we made a layered jello dessert
(that took from 10am until 7pm to complete).
Each layer of jello represents another layer of the universe!
We even made a little acronym to remember:
Tara Stahlbaum Morin THinks about Eating
Troposphere
Stratosphere
Mesosphere
THermosphere
Exosphere
We LOVE doing science fun stuff (especially eatable ones).
If you have any suggestions, or want the instructions to any of these ones please flip me an email at tara.morin473@gmail.com.
