Searching the jar with the empty cacoon that we had been watching for weeks.
The beautiful Luna Moth that we had waited patiently to watch hatch from it's cacoon. Sadly the moth didn't make it because its wings never fully expanded but it made for such a great time of learning and talking about this amazing process. We got in some good conversations about how God takes us from a place of lesser beauty to a place of greater beauty as we choose to follow Him and learn from Him. This may have been my favorite "project" with the girls so far.
Another very cool project this May was what we learned about after a neighbor found a snake skin. We got to talk about how the snake uses something like a stick or something else in nature to help pull it's skin off. This was one smart snake...he actually climbed through a hole on a wheelchair ramp to pull of his skin and the empty skin was found through the hole...the head through one end and the tail hanging out the other. In the bottom picture you can see where the snake's eyeball was. We borrowed a book on snakes to learn more about the process that snakes go through in order to grow.
