Today, we will be learning more about that picture I posted on Tuesday. It is a fossil and specifically, it is called a trilobite. There is a dig site in Hamburg,NY called Penn Dixie where you can go dig your own Fossils on the ground. If your parents ever want someplace to take you, I recommend spending a day at Penn Dixie looking for your very own Fossils! Click on the picture to see their website.

Let learn a bit more about Fossils:

As always,mhead on over to Mobymax Science on your iPad and look for the lesson called:

What is a fossil? And what does it tell us?

What can Fossils tell us about extinct plants and animals?

Please work today, tomorrow and this weekend, finishing up your assigned Science lessons for this week, if you haven’t already done them.

Remember to watch for the full moon tonight! The Native Americans called it the Strawberry Moon, not because it’s pink but because you can harvest wild strawberries this time of year. Have you ever gone strawberry picking? Well, that’s a story for another day!

Good Morning Earthlings!

Did you get to see the rocket launch on Saturday?

It took two astronauts to the International Space Station. Both these men are Dads and they have boys about your age. Their job is that they are test pilots which means they are flying this new spacecraft dragon for the first time.

Watch this video to see a tour of the International Space Station. Maybe one of you will grow up to be an astronaut or a test pilot?

You could even be one of the many people on the ground in mission control. Mission control is the room where the people sit at their computers and control remotely all the parts of the spacecraft.

Here are some fun puzzle sheet for you to do, if you like!

 

Back here on Earth, we have so many things to learn and work to do! In reading, we are continuing our novel study with the book Pax. I hope you have listened or read the first four chapters. Remember, you can always turn off your sound and read them yourself, pausing the video until you finish the page ! Today your assignment is to read Chapter 5.
