YUK!!! OWL PUKE!!!

Did you know that you can learn what an owl's favorite meal is by examing its puke!  Sounds fascinating, right??  It actually is pretty cool.  Just ask your 5th grader.  We recently spent several days digging through the stuff and found everything from a bird's skull to a rat skull and lots of fur and feathers.  We were able to watch a clip of "Dirty Jobs" that shows how the owl pellets are collected.  We've recently finished our unit on life science and are just beginning our unit on physical science.  This unit will have a lot of activities that are done in the lab.  Be sure and ask your child what is going on in science.  They will have some great things to share with you.

Polar bear snot is coming before Christmas.  It is always a favorite.  Density bottles will be made soon and boy are they neat!!!

Check back soon to see what's going on when we are loose in the lab!!

Boxtops Update:

We recently sent in over $200 worth of boxtops.  I am in the process of ordering a set of interactive games that are hosted by "Bill Nye: the Science Guy".  The children love him and he is a very interesting character.  I think of him as a cool science nerd!!  I hope to have them here by Christmas so the children can enjoy them before the break.

Don't forget to send in those old ink cartridges and used cell phones too.  They may be trash to you, but to us, they are money in the bank!
