Quarantine Science and Nature

We went on a nature walk the other day around Huntington Lake. We saw a mama duck with her babies...
 And this tree filled with large bird nests.
 They are double crested cormorants...
 And they make the weirdest gutteral noises!
At home we spied on our baby hummingbirds. See their 2 beaks?
They're getting big!
We also did some indoor art with glue and food coloring.
Before...

And after! Sort of cool suncatchers!
Then we made lava lamps in Mom's wine glasses using water, oil, food coloring, and alka seltzer.

Very cool!

When the reaction was all over we mixed it up to see if it would separate again. I thought mine looked like a yummy frozen drink. 
I had to make a Rube Goldberg machine with 4 different mechanisms for school. I made one that dropped a straw into my cup. Tommy helped.
