I retired my morning supervision vest. Bye, #scienceclassroom. I downsized to 1 tank & took out all plants rooted in it. Here's the longest, with a meter stick for scale. It's now in a pot with lava rocks & water; I might have it "climb" next to a window in my 5th grade classroom. #changeisgood

I managed to get a decent pic of my 1 shrimp. I saw a sowbug that looks like 1/2 of 1 kind and 1/2 of another in the bin. My 4th & 5th graders played a prey-predator activity ("poor vision" + noisemakers) that's always fun to watch.
#keepingthingsalive #scienceclassroom #classroompets
Blue neocaridina shrimp, the only one in the tank at this time, hardly ever spotted, but photographed a lot when it happens Sowbug that looks like it's half-brown and half-bluish gray, most likely an offspring of 2 different variations...there are "cookies and cream" and "powder blue" sowbugs in the bin, so this may be a mix of those. Students doing a prey-predator activity where all animals have poor vision...predators have jingle bells on their ankles, and prey animals have noisemakers that they use to find another of their kind so they can be "safe".

Life continues in the Science classroom...or life cycles continue in the Science classroom. Here are some photos from this week. Better descriptions are in the alt texts for each photo. Let's just say I didn't plan to get more caterpillars.
#keepingthingsalive #scienceclassroom #classroompets
Tiny painted lady caterpillars hatched out Friday night. The eggs were laid on Monday, and the butterflies were consequently set free so as not to keep getting more eggs. Bottom left photo has thumb for scale. Painted butterfly eggs were laid on Monday on the fake flower around the sugar water wick (which is inside a medicine cup). Top photos were taken on the day they were laid. Bottom photos were taken on Thursday. They hatched on Friday. Some random Science room photos: Top left, a darkling beetle that wasn't able to molt out of its pupa exoskeleton (it was still feeding and walking around); top right, my classroom currently has ~100 mealworm pupae; bottom left, a student gave me back her journal from last year & it came with a caterpillar (I put the journal back in her locker with a note about why she might want to keep it); bottom right, the privacy film on my window facing the media center (which has windows to outside) refracts the sunlight in the morning, but only at this time of year.

We had 6 caterpillars that all pupated. Sadly, 2 chrysalids fell to the bottom of the jar. After relocating all 6 to a bigger enclosure, Surprisingly, 1 of the fallen ones did emerge (deformed). It was a new experience for everyone. Read alt text.
#keepingthingsalive #scienceclassroom #classroompets
A painted lady butterfly with deformed wings. The chrysalid was in the bottom of the enclosure and wasn't expected to produce a live butterfly. It was a great lesson for students for why the chrysalids need to be hanging or suspended from something. I chose not to try to suspend the 2 fallen ones I had because I thought it would be a good lesson for students about how, in nature, some organisms do not survive. In this case, some organisms do survive but not in an optimal way. This butterfly can crawl around but not fly. Sometimes it struggles to get back up when it flips over. I am not sure that it is able to feed from the little cup in the enclosure that has sugar water wicking up through a fake flower. It will most likely inevitably starve to death. I've also seen the other butterflies interact with it, but I am not sure about the meaning of the interactions. I didn't know if they were attacking or doing something else.

It's crazy how quickly caterpillars grow in a span of a week. I watched a mealworm finish molting. I wish I could say my fish are doing well, but they are dropping like flies. Pollen allergy is also being discovered in class.

Fourth quarter means life science, so brassica plants are budding, caterpillars have arrived, and a mealworm just pupated. The video is showing oat bran being moved by mealworms underneath: youtu.be/Uyr_5RJ0vtY

In the tank that houses my one blue shrimp (and snails), I thought I had to clean the glass. I pulled out my phone and took some macro shots...turns out it's teeming with baby snails. I guess it's a snail tank...4 different types in there.

There was a rare sighting of my 1 blue shrimp. I took pictures of the snails for kindergarten, thumb for scale. I will be getting more mystery and ramshorn snails; hopefully they'll be more hardy than the last batches I got. I want more shrimp...

I've moved my garlic sprouts from my little classroom garden to the top of one fish tank. Most roots have grown out quite a bit, and the leaves are longer. Most bulbs have grown slightly. I am still not sure if this will be a success.

Elvis has truly left the building. I had it for about 2 years, 3 weeks of which it spent "lost" after crawling out of the snail jar (but somehow survived). It lived with the guppies, slowed down in the last couple of months, and died sometime in the past week.

I couldn't find anything about growing garlic hydroponically. I decided to try, with organic garlic from Trader Joe's. If nothing else, I'll get some garlic greens out of it. Most cloves have already grown in size. Others still have short roots.
