Mealworm...What's That You Say?
Yes, we have mealworms as a pet right now! We are watching them go threw the metamorphosis process. Right now, they are in the 2nd stage - larvae or meal worm stage. They should be in this stage about a week longer before going to the pupa stage. Eventually, about 3 weeks after that they will be in the adult/beetle stage which is the last stage. Don't worry these are not coming home. :)

Jan Brett Author Study
One of the authors we study in 2nd grade is Jan Brett. She is famous for her books, The Mitten, and The Hat. We read these first in class.
We then went to the library to learn more about Jan Brett and read some more of her wonderful books. Mrs. Biamont, our amazing librarian, had stations for us to use technology to learn about our author. We had 5 stations we rotated thru. Each station had a different type of technology to learn from.
At one station, students listened to Armadillo Rodeo on ipods.
At station 2, students predicted what would happen in Hedgie's Surprise and then listened to the story on ipod touches.
At station 3, students listened to The Three Little Dassies on ipod touches, and then used the ipads to watch videos about Jan Brett to learn where her inspiration came from.
At another station, students were on the mac laptops reading a powerpoint with information about Jan Brett. Students then took a quiz on the ipad to access what they learned.
At the last station, Mrs. Biamont was helping students write a letter to Jan Brett.
We had a great time learning about Jan Brett with all the technology. :)

Science Night
I hope all that had the opportunity to come to Science Night enjoyed learning some new things about Science!!!
I had fun at my station which was Sink or Float?
Students were able to examine different types of rocks with a magnifying glass,
predict if the physical properties of the rock would allow the rock to sink or float, and then test out their hypothesis.
After trying many rocks, they came to one conclusion: the less dense rocks float. Most rocks are very dense which is why most rocks do not float.
We only had one rock that did float!
As the night went on, that one rock above became water-logged and didn't float much. I kept going to the drying in the bathroom to help the rock out. Eventually, none of the rocks floated. :)
If you were not able to make it to Science Night this year, I encourage you to attend next year. All who came, appeared to have a great time.
