Describing our observations
​

Photo of the chicken foot taken by Frannie with a phone.

​It's a little slimy and kinda bubbly. - Lily
​And kinda sharp at the end (running her finger along the claws). And bubbly and squishy and sticky. - Bea

It looks like it's gooey and it's flat. They look like nails. They cracky. - Frannie

They pointing up like spikes and bubbles. They have fingers on their tips and nails. - Wilder
​
They have bumpers.  They look like dinosaur claws. - Cape

​​Images captured by Lucas and Cape.
Lucas showed interest in different kinds of scales he could find and Cape was interested in inspecting the tweezers in connection with the chicken foot.

Lucas gently stroking the chicken foot.

Woah! That is my whole arm. It's my hair. It's the hair. That's hair arm. - Daniel
I can see no (hair). - Finlay, comparing Daniel's skin with the chicken foot's skin

Similar to Cate, Jade and Remy yesterday, Lily and Bea were also curious about investigating their own skin, as well as in comparison to the chicken foot.

Reflecting and drawing conclusions based
on our observations and experience
​

Children sharing their thoughts and presumptions about the chicken foot.

​​(after Daniels suggestion that it could be a dinosaur or a dinosaur bone)

Finlay: No. An animal. Because dinosaurs are not real. 
Daniel: It's an animal but it has a dinosaur bone in it.
Finlay: (After learning that it is part of an animal) It's an organ? 

​Similar to presumptions Cate and Jade had made yesterday,  Bea also guessed it could have come out of the ocean.

​I think it's an animal. A real animal. - Cape
It's a chicken. - Lucas

It's a skeleton because it has arms and a head. A dragon foot because it has nail, nail, nail (pointing to each claw). It has a glue pad under its feet. (pointing to the soft ball of the chicken foot, also called the metatarsal pad). It looks like glue and paper. - Frannie

We would like to end our blog with a sunny hug that Lily and Wilder shared earlier today.
