Megan today picked a science activity to study. The one she chose to study was determining temperature with crickets, so we went out to buy crickets. But, Megan
wanted to make a firefly. We picked out a bottle, a fruit juice bottle with a orange top. Then, she put eyes and antennae on the bottle cap and then glued a black sheet of construction paper near drinking bottle's top and most of the way down the body.  Actually, she did this the whole way and then cut off some of the bottom. Then, she cut out legs and wings.  She did this by folding the construction paper and drawing a wing and cutting it out so she gets two of the same shape. Then, she cut out plastic that was laying around to cover the wings.  Then, someone she made to more wings of the same shape. It came out looking pretty cool.  It is supposed to be a firefly , but we have yet to decide on a light. The instructions say to use a one time light stick, but I told Megan that they do not last long.
