Jade caught a firefly and we put it in a jar for her.

She observed the firefly carefully.

She drew the firefly. We labeled the body parts. She learned about the chemical that light up the firefly, why they light up and other details.

We took pictures of her science project and put it in the Science Experiment Journal she keeps.

She filled out a lab report about the firefly, you can download it for free here:
