We have some really GREAT graphing going on in our room right now. To go along with that, I want you to conduct some research for me. Go to the heart to heart link on the right and give me ONE fun fact about the Sweetheart Candy we were working with in class. Tell me also the year the first box of Sweetheart candies was sold. :)

We all have our Science Fair Projects approved, yeah! I want you to discuss why you choose the particular project that you did as well as comment about ONE other students project. Remember, we want encouraging comments!
I've also placed a couple of helpful links on the left that I want you to check out. Our next blog will be asking you to give one helpful hint that you've learned from one of the websites!

When trick-or-treaters hit the streets at the end of this month, they will be winked at and jeered by a nation of flickering Jack O'Lanterns. Already, buzz on "pumpkin carving" has spiked 130%, while searches on pumpkin stencils, patterns, and pictures have rustled upwards.
But there's another stage where autumn's thick-skinned fruit plays a more nourishing, if unsung, role—and that's at the kitchen table. Sure, everyone snacks on roasted pumpkin seeds and digs into pumpkin pie at this time of year. But when's the last time you sank your spoon into a finely wrought pumpkin Crème Brulee? Or woke to a steaming plate of pumpkin pancakes? Whether you have or haven't, we're sure you'll find something new to devour in this list of the top 30 pumpkin recipes, as cooked up by Search...
Pick your favorite and maybe Mrs. T can make up a batch for the class!!

Things we don't see at first

We've just completed three great science labs in class and at home. The common thread through all three labs was that they allowed us to see things that we couldn't see by just looking. In the "Rub a Dub" lab we were able to see the veins in a leaf and how they created patterns, called venation patterns. 
In "Busted" we analyzed our fingerprints and were able to catagorize each one by the three common fingerprint patterns. Finally, in "Color Writing" we conduted an investigation that allowed us to see the different pigments in colored ink.
It's been a Science-rific week! If we were able to take these labs ONE step furthur and continue working with the data we found, which would you prefer and why?

Sticky spider web caught bugs millions of years ago

Sticky spider web caught bugs millions of years ago
Have you ever touched a spider's web? If you have, you know they are sticky but also pretty easy to break. It's hard to believe a spider's web could last for millions of years, but one web did. Scientists from Spain and the United States say they found a 110-million spider web that still has bug parts sticking to it.
The web found by Enrique Peñalver of Universitat de Barcelona in Spain and his fellow scientists was inside a piece of amber, which is really old tree sap that is as hard as a rock. It's not a whole web, just some pieces, but the scientists could still see a lot of cool things in it. There's a mite and a fly and a wasp leg snagged in the web by sticky glue drops. The scientists say it's the oldest web with bug parts that anyone has ever found.
It's hard to tell what the whole web might have looked like, since most of it is missing. But the scientists say it might have looked like the sticky round nets that we can find in our own backyards. Those kinds of webs are very good at catching bugs that fly.
Another team of scientists also thinks these webs might have been around for a very long time. Spider sleuth Jessica Garb and her fellow scientists found out that all spiders that spin the round net webs make some of the same kinds of string for their webs. The great-great-grandma of these spiders lived about 136 million years, so these webs were probably catching bugs when the dinosaurs lived.

The spider studies appear in the 23 June issue of the journal Science.
