2nd Quarter Science

Mikro is currently obsessed with stargazing. He can identify several constellations, including Orion, Cassiopeia, Taurus, Draco, the Pleiades, The Big Dipper and the Little Dipper. He can also identify Jupiter, Venus and Mars, and has observed all of the above, as well as one of Jupiter's moons, with binoculars and a spotting scope.

Mikro's interest in biology and zoology continues to flourish. This quarter, he dissected a crayfish and a sea star. He has also watched countless wildlife videos on YouTube, as well as DVDs.
