When you work all day trying to dig holes in really hard soil, sometimes you have to call in reinforcements. Thanks Carlos Rocha Property Services ! @kwall911 @NorthCarolinaEE #EnviroEd @BESFirefly @BallentinePTA

It’s the season for baby birds again. Who knows what type these are? I know only because I saw the parents. I’m amazed by how much they all look alike.

Today we learned that monarchs pupate in a different orientation and different locations than the black swallowtails we are used to seeing. Thanks to my kid (who located one in 2 minutes) we now know where to look. #monarch @kwall911 @naturalsciences @NorthCarolinaEE

Since I’m not a crafty person I decided to make my methane combustion model for #ItsOurAir with items from the kitchen. #KitchenChemistry with homemade play dough and natural dyes from red cabbage and cocoa powder wasn’t perfect, but it was fun. @NorthCarolinaEE @kwall911
