Week #22 & 23 March 15-18 & 22-25
Topic: Biomimicry inspired by the King Fisher
Summary: Engineers in Japan designed a bullet train that traveled at 170 mph. It was a success except for the fact that when going through a tunnel, the air was pushed forward and caused a sonic boom each time the train exited the tunnel! Engineers were asked to solve the problem of the sonic boom.
Luckily, one of the engineers was a bird watcher! He was inspired by the needle thin beak of the Kingfisher. The Kingfisher dove into the water with barely a sound. Watch the video, "The World Is Poorly Designed, But Nature Helps" to learn more about how the engineers solved the problem!
VIDEO CLIPS:

A Coconut Octopus Uses Tools to Snatch a Crab by Smithsonian Channel
Run, Octopus, Run! #CephalopodWeek
Octopus Steals Crab from Fisherman / Super Smart Animals / BBC Earth
BOOK Recommendation:
The book, An Octopus is Amazing by Patricia Lauber and Illustrated by Holly Keller, is an excellent introduction to these fascinating creatures. Did you know octopuses have no bones, have a soft, bag-shaped body and can squeeze into a very small space? Also, did you know octopuses turn dark red when they are angry and turn pale when frightened? You'll be fascinated by the videos above. The full feature documentary, My Octopus Teacher is one of my personal favorites.
As you can see, students did a fabulous job creating their own original versions of Octopus Art with the ecosystem and food chain represented by sharks, crabs, fish, kelp and sea urchins.
ORIGINAL ART VIDEO by Mrs. Mallett
Learn to draw an Octopus! Learn to draw an octopus with one of its favorite foods, the crab. Also, if you'd like, add its most dangerous predator, the shark!
SCIENCE DEMO by Mrs. Mallett
Mrs. Mallett's Octopus Science Demonstration. Since the octopus has no bones, it can squeeze into some pretty small spaces. Its only defense is camouflage and escaping into very small spaces.
I found octopuses to be a fascinating topic of study! Enjoy!

Week #19 Flamingos from Aruba Feb. 22-25
This week we'll travel to the beautiful little Caribbean Island of Aruba where we will find the only private beach featuring flamingos!
We'll learn fun facts and draw our own flamingo.
Next, we'll travel north to the beautiful island of Cuba. Author Margarita Engle wrote a Newberry Honor Winner "Drum Dream Girl". This story is inspired by a Chinese-African-Cuban girl who broke Cuba's traditional taboo against female drummers. Drum Dream Girl tells an inspiring true story for dreamers everywhere.
ART:
Students drew their own versions of the beautiful flamingo!

For the deep thinkers:
Is NASA A Waster of Money by Mark Rober
ART:
Students drew their own versions of one of the stages of the landing. Younger grades drew the space capsule as it entered the atmosphere of Mars. The heat shield protected the capsule. The super sonic parachute, the largest parachute in the world, slowed the capsule from 300 mph to 12 miles per hour.
Older grades drew their version of the Sky Crane Maneuver and cables, which set the Perseverance Rover down gently on the surface of Mars, then detached. The retro rockets guided the Sky Crane as far away as possible with the remaining fuel where it crash landed.
Mark Rober put together an excellent overview of the work leading up to the launch and the landing. Remember, it takes 6.5 months for the rocket to reach Mars!
When I take a survey of "Who Would Like to Leave Earth and Live On Mars?", usually 1-3 students immediately raise their hand. We discuss the pros and cons to living on Mars.
What a historic week.
Perseverance and a little Drone have landed safely on Mars.
Week #17 Feb. 9-12.

My RABBIT Challenge! by Mrs. Mallett
Thank you for everyone who shared ideas about how to solve the rabbit invasion in my back yard! Keep the ideas coming!
Background: I planted flowers on my hill for the Monarch Butterflies. These particular flowers are the type that Monarch Butterflies like because they can get nectar from these flowers with their tiny proboscis.
Sadly, the wild rabbits also like to eat these flowers. Eighteen to twenty rabbits sneak into my backyard every night. The rabbits are devouring the flowers. What can I do to keep the rabbits away? I appreciate all your ideas.

Current Events in Space 2020 - Part 2
Must See Videos for Scientific Facts
Spacesuits for The Next Explorers The next phase of exploration on the moon and on Mars has been named ARTEMIS. In Greek mythology, ARTEMIS is Apollo's twin sister. In 2024 NASA plans to land the first woman and another man on the moon. These moon missions are in preparation for the exploration of Mars. NASA is designing and testing a new spacesuit for the ARTEMIS missions that is more flexible and durable. Scuba divers assist astronauts as they practice space maneuvers while wearing the new spacesuit. They practice in a Neutral Buoyancy Lab, which is a huge swimming pool at the Johnson Space Center in Houston Texas. (12 minutes)
What is Artemis / #AskNASA NASA astronaut Serena M. Chancellor answers the question "What is Artemis?" Serena is also a doctor.

Linda Godin has dedicated her life to increasing the Monarch Butterfly population in Thousand Oaks, California. She has a large butterfly pavilion in her back yard. Linda offers butterfly habitats, milkweed and caterpillar eggs for sale. She has it all! Visits are by appointment only.
Notice that the leaves are getting sparse in the photo to the left.
I had to purchase more milkweed plants to keep my 26 caterpillars fed. I now see why Eric Carle wrote his famous book, The Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar.
After about two weeks, caterpillars prepare for the chrysalis stage by hanging upside down like the letter J.
The transformation from the letter J to a chrysalis.
Using only markers and paper, our Sumac Artists created beautiful works of art illustrating the life cycle of the butterfly! Oh how I wish we could display these for all to see, however, I'm sure families are enjoying this art on the walls of their own homes!

1-2-3 Art Video: Space Shuttle with External Fuel Tank and Two Boosters
4-5 Art Video: The Red Roadster or Space Shuttle in a Starry Starry Night Sky
The International Space Station is circling the earth day and night. The space station is an example of a project where astronauts and scientists from around the world work together. The Space Shuttle was the "work horse" that took the major pieces of the space station up into space where they were fitted together like a puzzle. There are usually 6 astronauts in the space station. They stay for about 6 months.

STEAM Theme: The TP Tubes
Week #1 March 16-20
1. Optional STEAM Challenge for ENGINEERING: What if we save toilet paper and paper towel tubes and build something with them? Tape, string, paper clips, or anything else at home can be used. Let’s see what kind of 3D structures we can be build! How many inches long is a tube? How many tubes would it take to make a tower as tall as you are? Could you paint or color the tubes? What else can you make? 27 Awesome Ideas! Most use toilet paper tubes.
2. Nature ART: How about trying a new type of art? It’s possible to create your own piece of nature art by collecting and arranging rocks, twigs, sticks, leaves, shells, pinecones, berries, flowers etc. Andy Goldsworthy is an inspiration for this type of art. Bonus: You’ll get fresh air! https://www.google.com/searchq=andy+goldsworthy&safe=strict&sxsrf=ALeKk02RtvLf_5Tu2e4J0rmnxQdrIux1IQ:1584551119525&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiIge70wKToAhXona0KHVjlDoEQ_AUoAXoECCUQAw&biw=1215&bih=92

I feel like I’ve won the lottery because STEAM is such a fun and engaging topic. I love my job and the enthusiastic students who come to my class. The question I get asked the most is, “When do I get to come to your class again?” This will be my 8th year teaching STEAM at Sumac, and my 10th year teaching STEAM. I am a California Credentialed teacher with a Master’s Degree in Curriculum Design. My father and brother are rocket engineers, so I grew up going to rocket launches and discussing the Shuttle missions. STEAM is an exciting hands-on, fast paced environment where children spend time thinking, collaborating, inventing, experimenting, designing and painting. Every class session is different. Some classes include my custom educational art videos. Most classes include recent, fun, entertaining you-tube clips that tie the art, science and engineering together and show that STEAM is going on every day and is relevant and current. There are employment opportunities and the sky is the limit.I feel honored that I get to watch the next generation of passionate artists, scientists and engineers grow before my eyes.
