First Science Lab of 2008

Today we had our first Science Lab of 2008. After spending 2 days studying the parts of a flower we went to the lab and disected a poor lily, or several poor lillies! Anyway the kids had a chance to get in there and locate the main parts of a flower (sepal, petal, pistil, and stamen) and actually got their hands a little dirty while doing this...there was pollen everywhere.

We had a great discussion afterwards about the parts and their functions. The class made some really great observations...which is what good scientists do!
