Carla prepares a student group to do Little Lumpty. She has read
the book, Little Lumpty, about an egg that falls off a
wall. The children are challenged to build an egg catcher to
keep the egg, Lumpty, from breaking as it falls to the floor. |
Students work diligently at constructing an egg catcher for
Little Lumpty. |
The final test is to determine if the egg catcher catches Little
Lumpty the egg, and keeps it from breaking. This activity is a
good example of design technology in which the children in
groups build egg catchers, test them, then suggest redesigns. |
Here students investigate the properties of leaves-color, size,
shape, venation, petioles or not, lobes, etc. |
More leaves to study. |
Children learn how to make leaf prints. |
Carla’s class displays a whole class leaf print collage. |

Our hats are off to these 3rd grade scientists in action. We
appreciate them sharing their inquiry projects with us. Thanks
Carla and Kids!!! |
