Not sure when Daegan created his latest round of science-art. Here’s what I found on the couch and asked him about: “An 82 million year old food chain,” he told me. “See? Phytoplankton gets eaten by zooplankton [slurping sound effect],  the enchodus, an ancient fish, eats the zooplankton [slurp!], cretoxyrhina, a shark, eats the fish [slurp!] and a mosasaur eats the shark!” (Yes, I have to ask my 6-year-old how to spell these creatures!)

I also found these drawing. He must have liked the archaeopteryx quite a lot, as he taped it to his bedroom door:

I love seeing the creations he makes with no input from us (other than supplying the paper and markers, and taking him to the library to get out books and DVDs of his choice).
