November 18, 2011 - Nature Study on Leaves

Today was our last nature study of 2011.  The lesson was all about leaves and the word "chlorophyll".  Ms. Cathy read the book "The Leaf Man" before we went on our hike.  Each of the girls were to find leaves that were interesting to them and look for one that still had a lot of chlorophyll in it (was still green).

After the hike, we identified each of our leaves while drawing them in our nature study notebook.  The girls were supposed to count each of the main veins so we could make a graph for our group.

E
Oak Hydrangea - it had 5 main veins
Dogwood - had 14 main veins

P
Dogwood - 10 main veins

G
Sour Wood or White Ash - 18 veins
Grape Vine - 6 veins

We learned about the different types of leaves.  We also learned that when chlorophyll is released from the leaves that is what gives us carbon dioxide.

Chlorophyll has a vital function: that of capturing solar rays and utilizing the resulting energy in the manufacture of the plant's food—simple sugars which are produced from water and carbon dioxide. These sugars are the basis of the plant's nourishment—the sole source of thecarbohydrates needed for growth and development. In their food-manufacturing process, the chlorophylls themselves break down and thus are being continually "used up." During the growing season, however, the plant replenishes the chlorophyll so that the supply remains high and theleaves stay green.

Today was our nature study again at Inverness park and trail.

The book that Ms. Cathy read was "The Giving Tree".  After reading the book each girl got to find a tree that they were interested in to "study".  After the study time, we went on our walk to look for all the types of trees and leaves we could find.  At the end of time the girls were able to paint with watercolors a leaf from their tree in their journal.  They had so much fun!

Went for our Nature Study today at Inverness Park and Trails. It was a perfect day for it and the girls had a great time.
Ms. Cathy read them a story about a little red house with no windows or doors but has a star in it.  That "house" was an apple and the girls were able to see the "star" when the apple was cut.  It was a great lesson and it allowed the girls to narrate back to her also.

Our walk was a time to look for seeds and to see how each thing God made starts with a seed and how it grows into something new.  They each had a bag to collect their seeds.  After the walk, they were able to sit and draw and share their favorite seed they found.  We had a great time!!

Each girl also did their online work.  Payton took her lesson quiz for map 9 and got all right!! Emi did her science and LA online.  Learned more about prefixes and nutrition.
