Observing Nature!

Thinking About Our Earth!

Meet Freddie the Fish!  He was swimming in nice clean water.  But then we learned about how oil, salt, rust, garbage and chemicals were leaked into the water from factories, cars, humans and the environment.  This made the water very dirty!!  

Here is a nice clean river!

This is what happened!!

Dirt and Mud!

Painting with mud paint!  A mud puddle jumped all over her!  

Discovering what dirt and mud have in it!  

We found worms!

What's at the bottom of a bush that was just pulled from the ground???
