SCIENCE AT HOME

I miss you all, and I hope you are staying healthy and enjoying your bonus family time! Here are the results of our last lab, along with a few pictures of the fun science activities that some of the Orchard students have been doing at home. Please continue to explore, and send pictures of your labs and activities so that I can share them with your classmates (bonus if you are in the pictures)!

Natural Dyes Lab Part 1 - Results of the demonstrations on Zoom. Beet was my favorite!

Natural Dyes Lab Part 2

I’m still waiting for pictures from the 4th/5th grade class! Here are a few from other grades.

Left to right: Solomon’s beet colored marshmallow, Sadie’s blackberries + tree berries + potato plant flowers + turmeric egg dye, Lyla Lou’s turmeric slime, Mickey’s turmeric colored homemade pasta dough, Emma with turmeric and paprika, and Bear with cherry, chili powder, and (hand squished) blueberry juice.

Jane’s lizard habitat!
