We are doing a short unit on plants this month, and yesterday we studied seeds and how they get from place to place. The girls put on wool socks and then we ran through the woods and grassy areas to see what would hang on to our socks. We also grabbed some berries (Rowan especially likes the idea of poop-spread seeds), some maple seeds (those whirly-gig ones) and some acorns.
Then we came in and looked at the tiny hooks on grass, and burrs, and the parachutes on the dandelion seeds under the loupes.
And today we played hooky and headed to Breezy Point beach to find fossilized shark teeth! I didn't bring the camera (too afraid of sand!) but here are our finds:
It was a beautiful 85 degree day, and Gryphon built a monster sand castle with a very deep (leg breaking) moat. We love the beach!
