Butterfly Hatching

At Easter we got a butterfly habitat.  It is a big cage with netting for walls.  We ordered some Painted Lady caterpillars and they were delivered by mail.

I bought my new transformer yesterday.  I payed for it from putting the dishes where they're supposed to be.

My Collection - by Egen

I'm turning my room into a museum.  And my collections there are my rock collection, my bird collection, my plant collection, my worm collection, my shell collection, my magnetic collection, and my extras collection.

Cool stuff to turn in to the Collection Gallery

The Collection Gallery at the Science Museum is basically a big, long  hallway with lots of collections of nature stuff and other things in it.

Spring Happenings

  We've been doing a few things this spring.  We went to Grandma and Grandpa Meyer's house for Easter.  We also went to Grandma and Grandpa Rahe's house for Easter.  Uncle Scott, uncle Kyle, and Kaylie were there too.  At the Meyers we got some airplanes, spinners, and candy from the Easter Bunny.  We played with our planes, spinners, and also ate supper there.  At the Rahes we ate lunch, got some stuff from the Easter Bunny, and went on an Easter egg hunt.

Quinn- Had my birthday party.  This is me and my cake (thanks Amber).

Science with Mommy

We put a damp paper towel and a dry paper towel in a shoe box.  We put two worms in the box and put the lid on the box.  Then we waiting five minutes, opened the box and saw which paper towel the worms went on.

What we have been doing...

Egen-
     Playing and making lots and lots of Bionicles.  We like to pretend our Bionicles talk about things like practicing fighting and what's wrong in their groups.

This month in science...

These are pictures of science lessons we have been doing. In this lesson we learned about jumping beans. We learned that jumping beans jump because of the larva inside them. They jump the most in the light because they like to get away from the sun and into the shade. They would burn up otherwise.

Testing the jumping beans to see how many jumps they do on the floor in five minutes.
