Revisiting Some of Our Science

I wanted to get outside and revisit a couple of the Science experiments we did. Unfortunately our weather did not cooperate, so we made our observations through the windows.

Remember when we did this:

Yes, when we dissected the Rhododendron to discover, small flowers and seeds. Well today Selena observed this:

How about when we dissected the fern, with the hypothesis that these curious looking growths were seed pods, only to discover that they were new little leaves.

Upon looking out our back door Selena discovered this:

Some of her observations were, “They grew bigger!” “The Flowers are growing!”

She then took this and informed me “Mama, I am growing too.” I asked her how are you growing? She answered, “I am getting taller.” She went on to make the observation that, “Mama you are not getting taller.” I explained that this is right that at a certain age we stop growing. She then informed me that “Papa is the tallest, you’re taller, and I am just getting tall.”

We have not been able to get outside much at all here of late, all we have had is rain and cold weather. I had to chuckle at Selena on Thursday, she looked outside, the sun had just popped out from behind a cloud, she announced, “Let’s go ride my bike, the sun is….gone again.” She couldn’t even get the complete sentence out of her mouth before the sun was again covered by the dark gray clouds.
