October 8

Today we played a geopraphy game, Mystery Skype, with a class somewhere in the world.  We finally guessed that they were in New Jersey, near Atlanta.  



We are using atlases and Google maps to figure out where they are located.  Some of the questions they asked us were if we were west of the Prime Meridan and north of the Tropic of Cancer.  We asked them if they were north of the equator or if they were land-locked.


This is when we were asking questions.

In Science today we were lucky enough to observe a dead hornet's nest.

We looked at a cut portion of a wasp's nest too.

We discussed bees and their importance in the world's ecosystems.  

Reminders: 
- band tomorrow
- write a blogpost about your experience with this year's first Mystery Skype.

  1. Too bad I couldn't participate in science. It looked like fun!
