Thanks to Mrs. Schieber, our Observation Table had a very interesting object for us to observe, wonder, and learn about - a paper wasps' nest! This nest led us to many different wonders and questions about wasps. Our wonder board was filled with sticky notes. Throughout the week, we asked questions and then began to research. Here are a few of our questions:
1. How many wasps live in a nest?
2. How long does it take to make the nest?
3. What is the nest made out of?
4. What are paper wasps?
5. Where do they build their nests?
When Friday comes, it is time to share! Everyone has a chance to share questions or facts on their sticky notes from the week. This week, we learned SO MUCH! Here are a few of the interesting facts we know now about paper wasps and their nests:
1. There can be thousands of wasps living inside a nest.
2. It takes about all summer for a nest to be built.
3. The nests are made out of paper and bark from trees.
4. Paper wasps get their name from the nests they make.
5. Wasps build their nests all over the world, except Antarctica.
Another week of observing, wondering, and learning accomplished!
