Nature Study/Naturkunde (and physics/und Physik)



What a beautiful day for a nature walk!  Our topic today was "leaves."  We gathered as many different and pretty leaves as we could find, identified them, and drew one in our nature journals.

So ein schöner Tag für einen Naturbeobachtungsspaziergang!  Unser Thema heute war "Blätter".  Wir haben schöne und verschiedenartige Blätter gesammelt, diese bestimmt und dann in unser Naturkundeheft gemalt.

Zucker-Ahorn

We took those to fill them with peanut butter and birdseed for the birds.
Diese wollen wir mit Erdnußbutter und Vogelfutter für die Vögel füllen.



Flora loves those three trees and likes to play "house" here.
Flora mag diese drei Bäume und spielt dort gerne "Vater, Muter, Kind".



While we were drawing, some students set up their music stands outside.
Während wir zeichneten, haben einige Studenten ihre Notenständer draußen aufgestellt.

Veronika has started a block on physics.  Right now we are learning about sound.  Here she is writing down all sounds she can hear in nature.  We already listened to Peter and the Wolf and also tried out many different instruments to see how they make sound.  

Veronika hat eine Epoche über Physik angefangen.  Im Moment beschäftigen wir uns mit dem Klang.  Hier schreibt sie alle Geräusche, die sie in der Natur wahrnehmen kann, auf.  Wir haben auch schon Peter und den Wolf angehört und verschiedene Musikinstrumente ausprobiert, um zu sehen , wo der Klang herkommt.

  1. Hello Eva, I love identifying leaves and drawing them. You had such a lovely day, and the serenade by the students was perfect :) Your bird friends will be happy this winter. You must have to put it up high enough to discourage Julius!

    1. Yes, it was a perfect day, especially after feeling kind of tired because of staying up all night and trying to finish grading my German 101 exam. Just sitting there in the sun with the girls drawing and playing and the music in the background was so relaxing.

      Julius is not the problem, he does not like the snow so much, but the squirrels always take those pine cones away and eat them somewhere else!
