Science!

We spent the past couple of days at the Liberty Science Center (http://www.lsc.org/) doing a Residency Program. The kids learned about funghi (they got to dissect a mushroom), bacteria (some are good for us and some make us sick), plants (they dissected a flower), animals (they went on an animal scavenger hunt-they had a list of questions to answer-such as how many insects are there in the museum exhibit, they got up close and personal with the hissing cockroach from Madagascar, a rose hair tarantula, a salamander, and a corn snake, and they got to create their own organism and present it to the class.

Here is M. about to dissect a flower:

Here they are working on their organisms:
