Thank you to those who attended a group lesson and provided me with great feedback. 

I have added some new topics and have combined the two age groups. I see this as a better way to serve students in both age groups. 
Group lessons will be held on Tuesdays Starting at 1pm and lasting till 3pm. Lessons will be $15 per class and location will be in Prunedale at Grace Community Church on Paradise Road. This will be open to ages 5 and up.

Bird Watching! November 9th
Students will be learning about our local native birds and maybe even some invasive species. We will learn how to spot them with our eyes and ears. Students will also learn about obstacles birds face every day in today’s world and how they can help the birds! We will have fun trying to be birds and survive a day in the modern world and will be learning how to use apps while bird watching to add value to citizen science projects around the world by using an internet enabled device right from their own backyards.

What happens after I eat my food? November 9th
Once we enjoy our delicious meal, where does our food go? Does it have a party in our stomach? Does the stomach do all the work of getting the nutrients out of our food or does it have help? Join us as we explore how our digestive system works and get hands on in an experiment to show us each step of the way. ​

Open House was a success!!

<Sign of Relief> Well it’s over, and it was great!
The Biology With Berta Open House was a success. I am so grateful to all those who brought their kids out to enjoy the activities, learning booths, and bounce house. 
I loved watching the kids build their paper tube rockets and launch them on our homemade rocket launcher. Your kids came up with awesome designs and definitely know how to use plenty of tape! (haha Glad I had enough tape.)
The kids loved making slime and seeing what colors they could make mixing the glue with the different food coloring dyes. I even saw a few kids add beads to their slime so it was more sensory friendly for their siblings. Although I saw a couple parents give a couple “looks” when kids started using the slime in their handmade catapults… Sorry Parents!!
Everyone enjoyed seeing Tiny Tim the Turtle crawling around in his box over with the animal display. 
We all enjoyed the Chemistry experiments and all the other things going on last night!
Let’s just say I enjoyed myself probably more than the kids did and I am looking forward to it again in the future!
