Science is Everywhere!

Unfortunately, I had to stay home from school on Friday because my gal had the pink eye. Pink is her favorite color, but let's keep it anywhere but IN her eyeballs, ok!

Anyway, she's my little explorer, so we were outside on the beautiful Friday morning enjoying the weather before the heat set in. She found an egg in the dirt that started a heated debate between the two of us. We ruled out that it could be a bird egg, and immediately started going down the list of reptiles. She thought it had to be a turtle egg and I just knew it was a snake. Thanks to Google and iPhones, we went straight to the Internet to browse images to compare.

Turns out, turtle eggs are typically rounder than this egg was. So, could this Momma be right? I was pretty sure I was...

 

 

After much convincing in the name of science, she and I cracked open the tiny egg. Another thing I was certain of what that this egg was a dud. It was found near another egg that had already cracked, so I innocently assumed this one wasn't following its sibling's lead.

 

WRONG!

 

You will notice in the video that it was not, in fact, a dud! This was one of those times I wish that smell-o-vision existed!

This thing was

SUPER.

DUPER.

STINKY!

 

The amount of comments from Facebook friends about this little guy was amazing! I love that we were able to educate people just by our curiosity! Remember- Science isn't just in textbooks!

It's everywhere! And it's FUN!
