Backyard Nature Study

 
We love sitting in our kitchen watching nature. Every spring we discover a new bird. This year we have hummingbirds and Baltimore Orioles. It's always exciting to see new birds at your feeders.
 
 
While walking through the woods the boys discovered a cocoon. We had never seen anything like it before so it was fun researching what it was. It turned out to be a tent caterpillars cocoon.

Nutrients for Life

 

I'm excited I got my free Nutrients for Life material in the mail today. I can not wait to utilize it this summer as part of our summer science fun.

Technical Career Fair

 

Middle school and high school students and their parents were invited to attend a free Technical Career Open House at Schoolcraft College. During the Technical Career Open House, they were introduced to the manufacturing, metallurgy, welding, CAD and electronics fields. Schoolcraft College faculty was on hand providing tours and demonstrations in the college’s various technical and production labs. They participated in hands-on activities, including the CNC machine operations, and tensile testing from the metallurgy department and many others.

 

 

My youngest son Jaedan was not old enough to attend. So we did a little shopping and went to breakfast.
