Squid Squad

By -
We voted at meeting today to determine what creature we will be making.  It was a clear winner- squid!  



During small groups, we interacted with clay and made some sea creatures!



I made a stingray.




Another small group discussed design ideas for the colossal squid.  They drew some sketches and then we discussed what materials we could use.  We learned about how drawing on paper the squid looks flat but if we used something full it would look bigger.  They decided to try and create a 3 dimensional squid instead of two dimensional.









Here is what we need!




If you have any medium size boxes (e.g. amazon, online shopping, etc) we could use them for our squid.  We are also in need of any extra material, fabric, or even textured textiles that you or grandma may have at home.  And apparently a few light bulbs for eyes.  Thanks so much!

Science Experiment

One of our favorite science activities is using baking soda and vinegar.  There are so many different ways to experiment with them.  Check out the video below for a fun idea!  I also like to add food coloring to small cups/jars of vinegar.  You can use any kind of dish to spread out baking soda.  Then with a dropper add the different colors of vinegar to it.  You can use medicine droppers, straws, or even small spoons to add the liquid to the powder. What did you observe?  Here is how it went out at our house. Kennedy and Keegan in action  Even my 5th grader Kellan was amazed!  When they were done they wanted to pour the cups out to see what would happen.  So cool!
