Science in the classroom

Daniel showed us how to find horizontal using a cardboard tube, thread and sticky tape.  When he looked though the tube, holding it straight across, he could see the straight line which shows the horizon.  If he held it straight up and down, he would see the vertical.

This inquisitive praying mantis paid us a visit.  We kept it safe in our tube with breathing holes along the top, and then let him go at the end of school time.
