ummtafari Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I thought we would jump right into the human body study before studying insects, reptiles, and amphibians because it is winter and I want to be able to study those animals when it is warmer out for more hands-on opportunities. Plus, we have already delved into them before in an informal study. Is this any big deal? Debra in VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FO4UR Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Definitely save the critters for spring!:iagree: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabel Lee Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 :iagree: I think I'll do something like that too, since it's -43 F outside and there's no life roaming around to observe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcara Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 That's what we're doing! We covered mammals in the fall, fish between T'giving and Christmas, and human body this month. Then we'll get back into the animals. Of course, it will still be cold here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetbaby Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Not a big deal at all! You schedule science according to what's best for your family.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Is this any big deal? Debra in VA No, but do consider starting some seeds inside and maybe even a cold frame to get some superior plants results later in the year (ignore if you live where everything thrives). Also, winter is a good time to go to a good aquarium...most things are inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ummtafari Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Also, winter is a good time to go to a good aquarium...most things are inside. In previous years, we have had too many animals in our house, lol. Turtles, fish, crayfish, frogs, newts, hermit crabs, spider, lizard, rabbit etc. It got to be a bit much in terms of care and money, but the children did benefit tremenously!
