Perfect time to finish our Plant Science Unit with a little walk up East Canyon. See the trees turning, collect leafs for leaf luminaries, get close with seeds, & walk in the sun...We took the dogs along because although the SL County side is a water shed the Morgan County side is not.
I bought the girls science notebooks & colored pencils which gives us 2 more projects to look forward to doing: covering the notebooks & making no-sew wool felt pencil rolls!
Covered the basics on the ride up: reviewed chlorophyll, seed transportation, gas exchanges, you know all the usual plant science. Threw in some history Mormon Pioneers, Parley Pratt & his road, & the Donner Party. Don't worry we brought Apple Oatmeal Cookies.

The little scientist at work. Moving from plant science to insects (hey, how did they know that was the next unit?!)
The poor snake I hit and injured.
The girls getting a better view of the sheep herd running towards us down the narrow canyon road.
Great freaking Day! Look for our leaf luminaries, science notebooks, & pencil rolls. Next week Little Science takes on Insects & Bugs
I'm jealous!
