R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey-Plot Study



Charlie's science yesterday was a plot study.  His assignment was to mark off a small outdoor area and identify the living and non-living things he saw there. He chose a wild area in a woodsy part of our yard.  Well, he couldn't have chosen a more exciting spot because, as we removed leaf cover, we discovered not only worms, beetles, a centipede, a spider, and a tiny frog, we also found this guy:


A Spotted Salamander!

Unfortunately he was a bit perturbed by our intrusion and beat a hasty retreat! But isn't he just the cutest?!





After our fruitful investigations outdoors, Charlie filled in his lab worksheet, complete with a drawing of the Very Cool Sallie.
