The Itsy Bitsy Spider
Crawled up the water spout.
(Move and spread fingers up, as if climbing)
Down came the rain
(Bring wiggling fingers down)
And washed the spider out.
(Move both hands quickly to one side)
Out came the sun
(Make circle over head with both arms)
And dried up all the rain
Then the Itsy Bitsy Spider
Crawled up the spout again
(Move and spread fingers up, as if climbing)

Watch fruit flies multiply. Put a piece of overripe banana in a glass gallon jar or plastic pop bottle and watch (entire life cycle of fruit flies complete in two weeks ---eggs, larvae, pupae, and fruit fly) When you see 3 or 4 flies cover the opening with a paper towel use a rubber band to make the paper towel tight. Than put a spider in the jar and watch him eat the fruit flies.

Hatch butterflies and watch a butterfly cycle.

Grow plants: A potato in a gallon can. Have lunchroom ladies save gallon cans for you. Use a Styrofoam cup, draw a face on the cup, plant grass, as it comes up it is the hair. Sweet potatoes grew in water. Keep half of potato out of the water.

Bedding plants, buy at a greenhouse, 6 for less than a dollar. Transplant them. Give to moms at graduation party or end of school.
