Hands-On Day- Plants and Animals


          Today in Studio 214, it was hands-on day!  We completed six different stations in science, which took all afternoon.  The pictures of some things we completed are below.  We used hand-held microscopes to look at plant and animal cells.  We also cleaned feathers that were covered in oil.  Students had five minutes to clean it in order to keep their bird alive.  Most birds survived!  Another station we completed focused on bird adaptions with their beaks and students tested different types of "beaks" to see why animals adapt to their environments to survive.
