Photo Fun!



My friend K is rarely without camera in hand, and as a result, she's captured living science in up-close detail.  Recently, she printed out a few selections of her artwork onto post-card-sized photo paper and addressed them to each of my spark plugs. 

On the back, she wrote out interesting, fun facts about each of her selections, something that fascinated my spark plugs' inner scientist. 


For a while, we put the pictures on our refrigerator, but then we decided to turn them into a science page for our notebook journals. 

The boys each taped their own cards onto paper, making sure that every picture could be flipped up to read the information on the back.  Then they wrote out the names of each insect, plant, or animal next to the photos.


Last of all, we slid the completed pages into plastic sleeves to protect the project.  The boys can pull out the pages whenever they want to re-read the information on the back.  This was a fun project and a great addition to our journals!

For more of K's photography, enjoy some of here selections here.  I especially love some of the titles she gives to her work!
