Video Chat with a REAL SCIENTIST!

We are wrapping up our Writing unit on Lab Reports, and I thought it would be fun for the class to talk with a real scientist, that uses LAB REPORTS in his job!  (Helping to make a real-world connection to what we have been learning.)  I was so happy to get to introduce my older brother, Dr. Chatham Callan, to 2L this week!  My brother is a marine biologist in Hawaii, and took some time out of his day to talk with the kids about how her uses lab reports in his job, as well as how he has to at times "tweak" and repeat experiments.  The kids were able to each ask him a question, and say hello!  

Here we all are with my brother in the background!

It is not everyday you get to talk with a real scientist!  

Nathan has a question to ask.

Mya asked if he had tried feeding the fish watermelon!  

Jay had a question to ask.

Carter says hello!

Here is Angela asking her question.

Peyton is reading her question to Dr. Callan.

My brother turned his phone around so the kids could see some of his labs (down below his office), as well as the mountains and Pacific Ocean in the distance.
