New Visitors to our Class

We have new visitors to our classroom -
12 caterpillars!
We are so excited to watch them grow each day!
We will observe them through their life cycle
 and release them as butterflies to our 
Discovery Garden.
We will use measurement and estimation!

I made the mistake of telling students that I had purchased 
a set of my own caterpillars
for at home with Kendelle and many students wanted information on how to purchase their own (sorry parents!)
You can purchase your own through Scholars Choice (an educational store in the Calgary) or 
online through Butterflies Wings and Wishes.

We decided we wanted to explore this further. One student was so helpful in bringing in 3 containers of slime for us to explore! Thank you to this student! Ms. McCullough decided to add in Oobleck to the experiment as well. We described both the solid and liquid characteristics of slime and oobleck then wrote a conclusion on whether it should be classified as a solid, liquid or both and explain why. Through some research online, Ms. McCullough found out this information online: What Is Oobleck? Oobleck isn’t a liquid or a solid, it’s a "non-Newtonian fluid". At times, it may seem like a solid or a liquid but it acts differently than a normal solid or liquid. Making oobleck is a great science experiment to show how changes in  pressure  can change the...
