Cloud Lab 12/11/13

Lab flop today guys!!
This idea looked so cute on Pinterest, but in real life not so much!!! We took a clear plastic cup and filled it halfway with water. We then put shaving cream on top of the water. We then squirted blue food coloring on top of the cloud for rain. The rain was supposed to go through the shaving cream and rain … Only a few cloud labs participated with us today 😦 The kids had fun though and we reviewed the water cycle — so all is well in 4th Grade Science 🙂 Next year though — we will find a different lab. 🙂

Pumpkin Project 10/7/13

Today I cut the tops off 2 pumpkins, and added soil and water. Hopefully one of the seeds will sprout and we can ‘observe’ the life cycle of a plant in action!! Let’s see if this ‘Pinterest’ Idea really works!! 🙂
