VIRAL: UNA Lion greets WAFF's Marie Waxel

VIRAL: UNA Lion greets WAFF's Marie Waxel
"Hi, Marie. Whatcha doing?" Watch as one of UNA's live mascots surprises Marie Waxel WAFF 48 News during taping of a story about how the cold temps are affecting the big cats. Her story's coming up this afternoon on WAFF 48 News Now; in the meantime, join us in a good-natured laugh at this funny moment 

Leo and Una North Alabama's lions, Una heard the reporter talking about her I guess.  Posting the video because the class the first week of school loved a book I shared about Leo and Una (wondering if they recall the story or the characters-if so they'll love catching a glimpse of the real-life versions).

Changes in Matter Experiement

Before our Christmas Holiday, the class learned about matter and the different states of matter.  We did some interactive experiments on the SMARTboard, then a hands on experiment in the classroom.

First students labeled our diagram so the student  knew which "tree" was theirs.

Students add their SOLID colors to the mold.

Students were able (WITH TEACHER SUPERVISION) take a peek at how their SOLIDS changed to LIQUID when heated.  Students were also able to see the LIQUID turn solid again when cooled and were able to take their experiment result home with them!

* Of course before heated a warning sign  was made- in keeping with our SAFETY FIRST in SCIENCE motto.

Polish Christmas Traditions

Thanks to Kasha's mom for sharing some Polish Christmas traditions-the class really enjoyed this!
