dinosour ridges




On Tuesday Annika, Ian and I went on a field trip. First we went to a museum. The museum had dinosour bones in it. After that, we went on a hike in Dinosour Ridges. There was a cliff on the edge of the trail.

[I said I would be typing Campbell's dictated entries, but I haven't done that since the very first day. He has been doing all of this by himself since then. So, if you see something in brackets, I've typed it; if not, it's purely Campbell. - Ashley]

some of today

we did an experiment where we took two peices of celery. we dipped one in food coloring mixed with water, the other in plain water we waited for one hour before the hour was over we ate lunch. we had cresent dogs. after that we pulled them out. [dictated to Mom: We learned about the tubes inside plants, which carry water up to the leaves. We were studying structure and cells. We learned that cells have different jobs. Some of the cells in plants bring the water up to the leaves.]
