1st Quarter Science

Science during first quarter has been a lot of fun and full of cool labs where we learned a lot.  We have done labs about air pressure such as the egg in a bottle experiment, we have looked at how sugar affects the mass of and object when we did the gum lab, and we have looked at things up close under the microscope like when we looked at onion cells.  These were all fun and interesting, but my favorite thing that we did in science was study the development of the baby rats that were born in our classroom.  There are a ton because there are three female rats.  We basically got to see some of them being born which was cool. Then we started weighing and measuring the rats every few days to see how they grew.  It has been a lot of fun and now, weeks later, the babies are ready for adoption.  This was my favorite part of science during this quarter.
