Our Lab Rabbit ( Binky ) is Doing Well

Hi All ,
I know you were wondering about Binky, our bunny that lives in the Science Lab . For you that  do not know Binky,- He will be three years old in June and was purchased from a pet store right before Hurricane Harvey. The Pet store was flooded and lost all animals in the store. So you can say we rescued. Binky ! He is a mixed breed and very sweet and spoiled! In the video link below, you will see how I am taking care of Binky at home. Listen for some of those vocabulary words we have learned in Science.
As you watch the video, Listen for the answers to some of these questions.  If you have your journal, you made in the last post, write down the answers.You might want to draw a picture of Binky in his home away from Lab. I have included some great vocabulary so you can try to start using these words at home.

1. Is Binky  an herbivore, or carnivore or omnivore?
2. Does Binky  consume  carrots?
3. Why does he chew on hay and cardboard?
4. Why does Binky like to go in the doll house?

Something else to think about :
What would Binky eat if he was in the wild?
What kind of animals would be Binky's predator if he was in the wild?

Let's Get Together Again !

Hi Students and Families !
It has been awhile since I connected with you in the blog but it seems like a good time to reconnect !
I hope you are all doing well . I will begin posting again and hope you will check in to see my posts and perhaps leave me a question or comment .
Since you are not in school at this time, I will be sharing some of the things you would be learning with me or with your teacher .Then I want you to go share what you learned with someone else! It can be your friend, brother,  sister , grandma , parents, even your dog ! All knowledge should be shared and you can do that ! If you do not have any one to share it with then write it down in your Science or Learning Notebook . Maybe we could start out by doing that - lets make a Science Journal for home . Find a notebook or even loose paper and clip it together . Make your title page or cover and  are ready to start ! Each day you learn something new , with me or your teacher , or a video,
cartoon or your parents, just write it down ! I can't wait for you to show me or your teacher when we return all you learned !

I used an old composition book.
I just covered the old title or you can just clip together some notebook paper !

Check back soon for more posts and leave me a question or comment!

Remember -Never stop learning , Never stop sharing what you learned!
YOU could be the greatest teacher for someone else !

Feeding Time !

Hi to all my Favorite Scientists!
I am missing you since we are all at home for a while. I wanted to show you that the animals are all safe with me at my house . We know all living things have to have some basic needs ! So I had to take the terrariums and aquariums and cages home with me. Remember if you make a habitat for animals , you must provide their basic needs they would get from nature otherwise.So today is feeding day for the lizards and turtles . That means FOOD CHAIN ! 
Lizards are insectivores - eat mainly live insects (a type of carnivore ) and turtles are omnivores. So my lizards today are getting crickets and the turtles will get their turtle food made from ground fish . 
Watch the video and if you have any questions for me, you can ask! 
Then draw or write what you saw in your journal and be sure and tell someone what you learned or observed !
  Be sure and follow the link below to see the feeding time !

The words in red are all your great Science vocabulary ! Look how you can speak like a Scientist! I am proud of you ! 

Possible journal writing !

Now go tell someone what you observed and learned!
