What did you do to celebrate Earth day last week? Some of my classes made their own clay earth! Then we cut them open. Do you know what is inside of the earth? Check back for the results later this week.

Check out the new fall offerings for high school! We always have lots of fun! Hands on activities like this one building DNA with candy keep the curriculum interesting.

Have you ever heard of sodium alginate? It's a really fun compound to play with. We used it and calcium chloride to make a chemical reaction that resulted in gooey slimy worms. Super cool! We will definitely be doing this experiment at my Slime and Dough camp this summer. Don't miss out!

This past week in class we had some visitors that were really fun to touch and learn about. We learned about Bess beetles or Patent leather beetles. Many kids handled the beetles. Insects are so important for our world! It's important to instill an appreciation for them in our future generations.

Hey Busy Beetle fans! It's been too long! This year has been crazy with the move, lots of new classes and so many new faces! It's been so much fun! I have been remiss in posting pictures regularly. So here are some of my favorites!

Check out all of our cool experiments we did this week! From elephant toothpaste to dry ice fun!

We exploded our volcanoes today! Be sure to vote on your favorite volcano. Each picture has a number in the caption. Thanks for participating!

We played with oobleck outside today! It was a great time. Lots of messy fun! Did you know oobleck and lava are both non Newtonian fluids?
