Habitat Habitat...Have to Have a Habitat!

"Habitat Habitat...Have to Have a Habitat! Have to have a habitat to carry on!!" sung to the tune of "Lollipop,Lollipop." It's one of our newer poems and it's a very catch tune! It's also the main topic of science over the last couple of weeks. We are learning all about organisms and their habitats. We've created 2 habitats of our own; freshwater and woodland. We even had a visitor from Stony Brook that helped us learn a little more about some of the habitats we'll be exploring on our upcoming field trip including; the pond, forest, and meadow.

Let's Observe....

A group looks closely at moss and a tree seedling and records their
observations in their science journal.

This group is looking at all of the organisms in our aquarium. We have plants called Elodea and Cabomba as well as guppies and snails.

This group is noticing the differences between the woodland (or forest)
plants and recording their ideas on a Venn Diagram. 

Pond snails! We wondered what do they look like, how do they move, what
parts do they have??
