February 1st we continued our Science Lab....what a great job the kids did. The younger class was very responsive and participative. One student was very into answering questions.....When I asked what the umbilical cord turned into on us when it got cut and healed....we discussed it was the belly button. This student said "I know another name for the belly button....it's Noble"!! I was a bit confused and said "Gee, I never heard that before"....to which her mother who was in the room said "It's a navel--not a noble!" Oh my, the things kids say!
Later in the morning, as we were discussing how our bodies start small, and our insides grow bigger as our outsides grow bigger. I asked "Why do our insides grow along with our bodies?" This same student said "OH, so we can get married"!! This is why I love what I do!

Enjoy the photos. Thanks to Ruth for allowing me to take some pictures off her facebook page. She does incredible photography. Thanks also to Georgette, who helped with pictures as well as lots of other "to do's" during this science lab!
The older class did a fantastic job. Although there were lots of questions, most all the students got right in there.
By the third week, there were faces so close to the pigs that I was worried about splashes. 
Thankfully, there wasn't much fluid, and these kids learned TONS! I heard WOW, it is that long.....REALLY, is it green in us.....COOL....look at all those veins....AWESOME--there is stuff in the stomach....is ours that squishy?!! It was a wonderful learning experience, and one of the reasons I love what we do in this group!February 8th Pictures....
Thanks to all the parents who helped out during the three week process. Not sure we can follow this lab with anything that will be as interesting!
