The Crayfish Get New Homes!

May 9, 2012
Today was an exciting day in Team Bond!  Me and my friends got new homes.  They really are 1/2 of a plant container, but they provide me and my friends with a good shelter.  Each shelter is marked with a different shape.  The students of Team Bond are going to see if each of us pick favorite homes to live in each day.  They created a question, "Will my crayfish have a favorite home?" They also created a hypothesis.  Paige's hypothesis was, "Yes, because most animals mark their territories."  Cayden's hypothesis was, "Yes, because they probably get used to the one they were staying in."  They will keep track of where my friends and I are hanging out for the next 4 afternoons.  In addition, the students also kept track of our behaviors.  Some of the kids enjoyed seeing what we would do when were on their desks. 

Another exciting part of today's science time was, Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, otherwise known as MHC according to Jake, were hanging out with us.  In fact, one of them even took a very short swim with Willis, the one armed crayfish.  Zackery acted fast as the lifeguard and swooped in before Willis noticed.  Zackery was a bit worried about the MHC, but it was fine.  Maddie took a lot of cool photos today with the kids.  You can find them attached to our Structures of Life Zap: http://5k8g.zapd.co/

Happy Wednesday!
