SCIENCE:
Bioluminescence:
First, Parker read Night of the Moonjellies, because he studied bioluminescence when we first rowed it years ago. This also gave us an opportunity to re-read another FIAR book by the end of the school year. This book is very special to our family. It always will.
We also have memories of creating our own “moon jellies” using glow sticks in sandwich bags. One year we floated them in the sink and the next year we floated them in the tub. They LOVED it!
Another time we used our Safari Deep Sea Creatures to press into our Crazy Aaron’s Glow-in-the-Dark Thinking Putty.
We studied this topic many times while studying the deep see creatures. Using \bioluminescent paint, Parker painted abbysal creatures while rowing All the Secrets of the World.
Afterwards, he read Maldives’ Sea of Stars and perused through Weird Sea Creatures focusing specifically on bioluminescent behavior.

Chapter Book GRAB BAG:
I started creating a GRAB BAG for Hitty: Her First Hundred Years Chapter Book Unit. The Grab Bag series is a collection of worksheets and/or activities that I create while studying the FIAR Chapter Book units with my children. You can purchase your copy HERE at our TPT Store.
*NOTE: Please be aware that any printable from the Grab Bag series may have worksheets that are similar and/or the same as those available in our other printables. We try to include anything that could enhance a student’s learning experience while rowing the chapter book series.
