Our third grade in-school residency at PS 9 continues with more hands-on science fun! During weeks four to six, we've explored invertebrate adaptations, learned about the anatomy of feathers, and focused on the specialization of bird beaks. All of this knowledge rounds out our understanding of living things, their adaptions, and how these things are passed on through traits and heredity.
We're gearing up for our final project, where we're combine everything we've learned to design a specie of our very own! Depending on the group, many of our young scientists have science notebooks where we've been practicing taking notes. This includes our word of the day and often incorporates illustrations, which young scientists are challenged to label for further understanding. The result... some absolutely amazing notes! But why is this important?
It's been a very smoky twenty-four hours here in Brooklyn! We haven't had rain in over a month, and the recent windy conditions resulted in red flag warnings being issued. With dry autumn leaves serving as kindling, we have the perfect recipe for fire. Over the last twenty-four hours, we've experienced local brush fires which have had a negative impact on our local air quality. This can feel like a dry throat, chest irritation, burning or dry eyes, and can result in coughing, wheezing, and the worsening of preexisting medical conditions.
Thank you for joining us for our annual family Halloween party at the Kiddie Science Lab! It was a fun time crafting, exploring, and getting a little messy with our science experiment. It's always a fun time at the Kiddie Science Lab!
