Microscope Art

Today’s images come from Rafe and Theia’s new microscope. They used it to look at an onion skin at magnifications of 750x and 1250x and at a slide of a pine stem at 750x and 1250X. Rafe particularly liked the last one that looks like abstract art.

Yesterday, you were asked to use a camera for your Nature School Scavenger Hunt. Did any of your photos look like abstract art? Did you take any pictures very close up? If you have a favourite, send it to me to be posted on the blog.

After you work on your measure and jump activity in math and physical education today, you can look at these videos of the record holders for men and women in the triple jump. Can you imagine jumping that far? I wonder how many jumps it would take them to jump from one end of our school hallway to the other.

For stortyime today, you can listen to Sam and Eva written and illustrated by Debbie Redpath Ohi. At the end of the story, she teaches us how to draw the Japanese character for friend.
