There are millions of different leaves! How do Naturalists and Botanists categorize plants? How do they describe the variety of traits to others? Scientists had to develop a shared vocabulary. We teach our students that science has a language which makes communicating ideas and principles easier to convey. 6th graders use a chart to identify over 40 specific characteristics then describe them aloud. In our other lesson students learn why/how leaves change color and transferred the natural pigments onto paper. 5th graders learn about chlorophyll, its benefit to the plant and humans; then they get to do leaf rubbings.

Happy Indigenous People's Day! Please spend some time watching this and sharing our invitation to see our 3 Sisters garden and potluck in person this Thursday. Just a pronunciation note: Haudenosaunee (Hoe-dee-no-SHOW-nee), meaning "People of the Longhouse."

Please join us Thursday. Share this invitation. We want to make sure all the butternut soup gets into bellies.

OK--Mulch has dropped! Push those teens outta the house and send them to Makowski 1109 Jefferson Ave to help GROW MORE BUTTERFLIES! 10am-noon.
