Day 2 Updates!

What an amazing two days!

As we continue to look at scientific ways of thinking, we will really begin to focus on observations and recordings.

Today, we reintroduced observation skills with a little "magic" trick. I am by no means a great magician, but it is still fun to watch...


IMPORTANT!..IMPORTANT!...IMPORTANT!...IMPORTANT!...IMPORTANT!...IMPORTANT!

On block day this week, we will be going outside to Swickard Woods. It might be a good idea to wear/bring long socks or boots to class!

Diving deeper in to observation and recording, we (Mrs. Willmore and I) have set up 2 tracking boxes in the woods. I baited these boxes with peanut butter this afternoon and we hope to attract some animal traffic.

Take a look at the boxes this afternoon...


Tracking Box #1
Meadow Habitat


Tracking Box #2
Edge Habitat

 

It will be great to see what visits over night!
