Awesome! Thanks so much - I’ll send the info to her!

Thank you so much! I was so intrigued, but I didn’t want to get much closer since I couldn’t tell what it was. Thanks for your expertise!

Did you all end up getting hit by the storm and hail? It stormed pretty bad for us during the night as well. No more hail though. It was crazy!

Giant millipedes and leaf bugs!

My 11th grade students wanted to listen to Moana I soundtrack as they worked in chem class today. Seemed like a valid request. So we sang, and we scienced!

I’m a science teacher, and an amateur SciArtist. I love developing an Explorer’s Mindset and connecting science, nature, and art through: natural science illustration, nature journaling, etc, and in my classroom with curriculum development. #SciArt

My students love doing this! Have you ever tried borax crystals on nature objects? Pine cones, leaves, even rocks? We did that one year as an enrichment activity near Christmas time.

I’d love that! I’ve only been teaching chem for a few years, so I’m still learning about labs that we can do, and especially how to do them safely!

Ohhh thank you so much! I’ll have to look into doing that!

What is the “steel wool phenomenon”? Thanks!
