What a day we had at Casey Farm!

Time to go home....

Nesting boxes

 Our guide, Jeannette.
 Cock-a-doodle-dooooooo says the rooster.
 Grinding the corn to feed the chickens is hard work!



 Feeding time.


 Getting our hands tickled.

 Washing the eggs very carefully!

 Go Sox!
 Do you know which egg is the fresh one?
 Staying cool.
 Too cute!
 Chick Land
 Hens trying to gather food.
Roosters turn to try...
  Bathing in the dirt? 
 What kind of things do chickens like to eat?  All kinds of bugs....

 How do chickens sleep?






Home at last!
Thank you, Chaperones!
Kara, Kristin, Michael, Lori, Hildy

 The second rocket taking off!!
 X 2

Thank you so much, Kristin and Dave, for all you have done to make
the children be awed by science!!

Mentos and soda = a volcano, of course!!!

 Passing out the mentos. 

 The children kept asking, "Can I eat it?"



Nucleation!

 Dave Rosler sure had everyone's attention as he got ready to fire off a rocket!
 I am sure Zosia is thinking.... my Dad is fun!
 Showing and explaining where the engine of the rocket goes.
 Waiting patiently....
 Explaining what the parachute will do...


 Final preparations...
 Ignition...
 Lift off!!!


Running to catch the rocket as it returns to earth.
What a fun morning!
Thank you Dave and Kristin.
