IN MEMORIAM

On Friday, the science lab experienced two losses....the small American toad and "Jay" the medium-sized red-eared slider passed away. Causes unknown, but Ms. Seitz stayed after school on Friday and thoroughly cleaned their terrarium and aquarium. They will be missed.

Our Unofficial Show and Tell

I love when students think about science when they're not in school. Sometimes students bring in projects that they've done....not because I asked them to, but just because they want to. I love to see these projects. Sometimes, students bring in questions that they've been thinking about over the weekend, when they're not in school. And sometimes, students bring in really cool stuff. Check it out!

One morning last week, Arti walked into my room with the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Well, not the actual bridge, but a model he made right at home. Way to go Arti! The real Verraano Bridge is a double-decked suspension bridge that connects Brooklyn to Staten Island.  It is the longest suspension bridge in the Americas, named for Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazano.

 Elliot brought in this bird's nest. Does anyone have any idea what bird made it?

Milo and Margalit shared this awesome skull with us! Their grandmother found it 35 years ago in the woods of the Hudson Valley. Milo and Margalit's father actually took the same skull to his school all those years ago, and passed the tradition on to his kids. If anyone has any idea what kind of animal this is, please let us know!
