Dinosaur Shrimp

Today we started getting the habitat ready for our triops eggs.




These pictures are horrendous, I must have had my camera on a funky setting, sorry.


As you might have guessed this means we have journeyed past the Cambrian explosion and are exploring the ancient mid-to-late Paleozoic seas...in other words we are only weeks away from DINOSAURS!!! I have so many resources, games, movies, tapes, stickers, cards, activities and books for dinos I really think interest will wane before we exhaust the materials. I figure we'll just explore as long as it's productive, and then move on no matter how much/little is left.

I have a tons of great stuff planned for early mammals,the ice ages, and hominids. Not to mention modern animals and classification! I figure we should be doing prehistory (scroll down to the bottom of this page and click on Science and scroll through that page if you have no clue what I'm talking about) at least until Spring. The we can ditch the (semi-) structured science and concentrate on relaxed, outdoor nature study. Or that's the plan, at least.
