lisascience: Setting up the elementary school's main blog - http://churchillelementary.edublogs.org
lisascience: Which makes more sense - study space first, then planet Earth? Or study Earth's ecosystems first, and THEN space? Hmm.
Lisa’s hint: think about the food chain… Authored by Lisa. Hosted by Edublogs.
lisascience: I've started to hang up the new questions on the Great Wall. There are so many, we're going to have to cover the whole hallway. Again.
Lisa took this picture right after she put in the new halogen bulb. These turtles really like to bask! They are cold blooded, so they can’t make their bodies warm. They need the heat of the Sun - ...
lisascience: Feeding live crickets (ugh) to the lizard and frogs. Why does it bother me so much to feed insects to reptiles? I'm not a vegetarian either!
Although there is a lot of excitement about Mars right now, we are busy studying other planets too. This image is of the surface of Mercury. This image (from NASA/JPL) shows craters and ”spidery” ...
