Scientist of the Week!

Emma is our Scientist of the Week!

The experiment was called "Color Up!" for C week. Emma showed us how celery can changed colors by putting food coloring in it's water.

Check in to see how our celery changes over the weekend!

Great Job, Emma!

*UPDATE: Our celery has changed colors overnight! I wonder how it will look on Monday...

Dr. Trusty Comes to Read

Dr. Trusty Comes To Read

Today Dr. Trusty came to Pilot B as our Mystery Reader. He read the book, "It's Hard to Be Five" by Jamie Lee Curtis. So many in our class are turing five years old- it was so appropriate!

Scientist Of The Week!

Kiera was our Scientist of the Week for Z Week!

She showed us how a Ziploc Bag and Crisco can act just like the blubber on a Polar Bear!

When our hand was bare in the water, it felt cold.

But when we used the Crisco as blubber, the water wasn't cold anymore!

Great job, Kiera!

NASA comes to Calvert

NASA Comes to Pilot!

Today we had Kiera's dad visit to talk to us about space. He works for NASA and is currently working on the next mission to the moon.

We learned about the ozone layer and why scientists study the ocean and weather from space.

We watched a special video about the Mars Mission Launch that will take place this August. We also learned why astronauts wear a space suit and how they eat in space.

We even got freeze dried astronaut ice cream. We can't wait to taste it!

Thank you so much Mr. C! We really enjoyed learning about space!

Yesterday we celebrated the 100th Day of school. We made a trail mix by counting ten of each of the ten items (Kix, goldfish, pretzels, chocolate chips, M&Ms, marshmallows, fruit loops, cheerios, reaisins, and ritz bits). What a yummy snack!
