Shrink yourself down to see what's going on in the soil...

After looking at samples from the greenhouse’s compost bin, we wanted to know what else might be living in soil that is too small for our eyes to see…

Playgrounds are fun for kids, but they also follow the laws of physics. We’ve been learning about gravity and friction and simple machines with 202!

For our end-of-unit project, we designed our own playgrounds. We’ll post those photos soon. In the meantime, here’s a short video about the Imagination Playground in a Box:

The food chain game

Lisa — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 01:44:37 +0000

205, 203 and 206 are learning about the forest. While we were watching Planet Earth and noticing the different layers of the forest, we pointed out many predators and their prey. We also began to talk about how plants make their own energy from the Sun, while everything else that lives must eat to get its energy.

Follow the energy to win the food chain game!

This is a type of bird. It says "drink your tea!" Click on this picture to play the game.

This game is about nature. It is about the forest. You can see lots of amazing animals. You can learn about the top of the tree, the middle, the bottom, and even the inside and top of a log. One of the best ones is a bird that says, “Drink your tea!!” You will experience the life of nature. This game is amazing.

Bombing the moon!

The LCROSS mission is a search for water on the moon. The LCROSS mission is going to do this by sending a rocket crashing into the moon causing a big impact and creating a crater, throwing tons of debris and potentially water ice and vapor above the lunar surface.

Ocean on one of Saturn’s moons!

Pretty amazing. It seems that everywhere we look in the solar system, there are things to surprise us. The speaker in this video is a little hard to understand, but he said something very interesting – that the salt in the water, plus other discoveries they made, mean that there are the right chemicals for possibly creating life. Forget life on other planets – we should be looking for life on other moons!
