Coming Soon : Active In Winter at Shelburne Farms!

We're going to learn all about how animals adapt to winter conditions, study some animal tracks, and learn about the hibernation cycle of many animals!

 

We are now studying seeds!  We started out by releasing milkweed seeds for the next generation of Monarch Butterflies to lay their eggs on someday.  This was our contribution to the Monarch's Life Cycle, and a perfect transition to the Seeds Life Cycle Study!  Releasing the magical milkweed seeds and watching them float away was so much fun!

Thank you for all the seeds you sent in from home!  We have been exploring all different kinds of seeds.  We've even planted some of our own!

 We have been making scientific observations about our little seeds, watching them grow into seedlings!  We've been studying the life cycles of seeds.  What else grows from seeds?
We planted Nasturtium seeds and have been thinking about what they will need to grow into plants.  We decided they will need soil, water, light, and love.
