Enjoying Spring

Mrs. Fink and her family have been enjoying spring bluebonnets and nature.

At what stage in their life cycle are these flowers?

What state flower are Mr. and Mrs. Fink sitting in?

Can you find the animal in this picture?

What Science concepts do you see in this picture?

Thank you, Mrs. Fink, for sharing your pictures with us.

Parachutes

In Science we made parachutes out of napkins, string, paper clips, and tape.  We took them outside and experimented with them.

Here are some of our thoughts about parachutes:

• It floats down.
• The air makes the parachute go down.
• Air pushes on our parachutes all around.
• If the force upwards was stronger than the gravity pulling down then it would float up.
• I can change the volume of air with pressure.
• Matter is everything and air is matter.
• The air pushes all the way.
