Earth/Science Day 2014


Today the students explored a variety of science ideas! We began our day observing items under the digital microscopes.  There were discussions of how pencil lead looks on paper when displayed and how leaves and cells look.  Then they learned about garbage with Bill Nye the Science Guy!  Our third event was with Kinetic Kevin from Mad Science.  He does so many amazing experiments and our class had front row access! After lunch we will enjoy a snack and write "take always" from the morning's events.  Our art activity with Mrs. Heller is about slogans about Earth day.    The we headed to the outdoor learning  space to listen to a speaker from Gateway Greenie to learn about how to plant seeds, especially those you can eat and enjoy!   And finally our day ended in the library learning about bees! The children each have a small printout of some native bees to Missouri.  We had an amazing day and I'm so glad the students were able to enjoy the day!
