Happy Birthday, Ryan!
We are so excited that you are 7 years old!


We had fun celebrating with Ryan by singing 
"Happy Birthday" and eating yummy cookie cake!


We hope all your birthday wishes come true!
Dr. Armstrong came and talked to us about
CHICKENS & EGGS 
this morning!
She has 3 of her very own chickens named:
Joyce, Pearl, & Betty
She told us that Joyce is the bossy one!

Dr. Armstrong is also keeping the SCS chicks in her kitchen under a warming lamp since it's too cold outside.  They have to be kept in a 95 degree environment.


We had fun trying to guess everyones' 
Mystery Eggs!

Look how our farm is taking shape!
Come take a look when you're on campus…

This is our garden with the chicken coop in the background!


The greenhouse!



And our new baby chicks!



Super Star Scientist
Addison!

Experiment:  Magic Milk
Objective:  To find out if milk reacts to dishwashing soap.

Addison had all her materials ready to go..lab coat and goggles, too!
Her materials were:  milk, dinner plate, food coloring, dish washing soap, and Q-tips.


First, Addison poured dishwashing soap in a small cup.


Next, her assistant, Dad, poured milk onto the dinner plate.


Then they added food coloring.
First red...


then blue


then green


and last yellow.


After adding the food coloring, Addison dipped her Q-tip in the cup of dishwashing soap...


…and placed it in the milk.


Look how the colors reacted to the dish soap!
The moved away from where she placed the Q-tip!


Conclusion:  The chemicals in the dish soap cause a reaction of the food colors when mixed with the fat and protein content of the milk.

Super job, Addison!  What great experiment and pretty creation!  Thank you for sharing this with us!

Happy Belated Birthday to Paul!
Paul had his birthday over 
Spring Break on March 13!

We are so excited to celebrate 
Paul turning 7!


Paul was excited to get his birthday card, wear the birthday crown, and show his 7 fingers!


The class always likes singing
"Happy Birthday…cha, cha, cha"!


We hope all your birthday wishes come true!
Super Star Scientist
Payton!

Experiment:  Volcano Eruption
Objective:  How 2 chemicals combine to make a reaction

Payton had all of her materials ready to go!
Her materials were:  vinegar, baking soda, red food coloring and a volcano made out of clay. 


First, Payton put baking soda into the center of her volcano.


Next she added the vinegar mixed with red food coloring. 


As soon as the 2 ingredients combined, "lava" started appearing!


The lava kept bubbling and overflowing out of the volcano!


Conclusion:  When vinegar was mixed with baking soda, it caused a bubbling reaction and the volcano "erupted".


That was so fun Payton!  You did a GREAT job!
We can tell you worked really hard on your experiment!

We had a lot of fun exploring with 
MAGNETS today!  
Be sure and ask your student what they learned about the north & south poles of a magnet and what is magnetic and what is not!
