Good Morning!



Duckling Adventures!

Watch this video of one of the ducklings (popcorn) falling asleep while standing up!  You need to watch the entire video.  At first, the eye that you can't see was closing as he was falling asleep but his other eye stayed open!  

Here are some more videos about ducks!





What is YOUR favorite thing about ducks???



Science:



Supplies:
To demonstrate how ducks stay dry in the water I cut two strips of  cardstock or heavy paper.  Cover one strip with oil.  


 Then dip each strip into a vase of water.
Compare the two strips.   The water drops rolled off of the oil.  Ducks have an oil gland near their tails and spread the oil over their feathers regularly through a process called preening.  The water can't get through the top layer of oil covered feathers, so the rest of their bodies stay warm.

For those of you who have watched the ducks swim, it is amazing how the water just rolls off of the ducks feathers!!!
