Science Lesson

So, we have this swimming pool size pond in our back yard where Adrian dug out the grass under the swimming pool this summer. That was because the boys would swim in the pool, because the smell of teh rotting grass smelled (and I quote) "disgusting."

Now, when it rains our normal Steedly Pool is made even more attractive by the fact that a giant puddle remains after the rest of it is somewhat absorbed after a day or two :) This, as it turns out, is the perfect place to make frog babies.

Adrian discovered the amphibian nursery one day while attempting to mow the sludge...the boys had a blast catching them with a net. We paused our school day for this hands on science lesson ..the best lesson ever!

They found tadpoles in various stages of morphing so it was pretty awesome :)

 Unfortunately, we werent very good frog parents and were all dead by the next morning but it was way fun while it lasted! :)

 An A+ for everyone!
