| Mrs. Salmon's Third Grade Class Trip to the Nature Museum |
Our first at the museum was a special workshop where we investigated red worms. The museum staff was blown away by all the wonderful facts and information our class had to share in the workshop. Here are some pictures of our investigations.
Here is a clip from all the investigations, followed by several pictures of the whole trip.

 |
| Brendan, Caroline, Angelina and Mary using magnifying glasses to closely examine their worms |
 |
| Jane. Kaya and Katie examining their worms |
 |
| Patrick, Lance and Maggie examining their worms |
 |
| Check them out - some were slow some were escape artists! |
 |
| If you look closely you can tell which is their head and where their 4 hearts are! |
 |
| Then we returned them safely to their soil to help make compost |
 |
| The worms were happy to go home I'm sure |
After our worm investigation we enjoyed a nice lunch and then walked through the museum. We even got to meet a female corn snake that just had babies! Here are some museum employees teaching us about her.
 |
| We know a lot about reptiles, just ask! |
 |
| Checking out the corn snake |
 |
| Then we got to touch her skin, it was so silky, we were shocked |
Finally we hit up the Butterfly Habitat. We discussed the life cycle of a butterfly and had a class challenge as to who could find and name the most butterflies! As you can see some of us must use flowery/fruity shampoo because the butterflies liked us!

| Jotting down the names of butterflies as they observed them |
 |
| This butterfly stuck with Lance the whole time! |
 |
| Another hitch hiker on Oscar |
 |
| Valerie must use a nice smelling shampoo! |

| Who knew there were so many butterflies and moths to see? |
