#WriteOut at Fall Science Day 2023
Transcript
[AD: Six people take turns reciting poems outside in front of a bush-like tree whose green leaves fill the background. First, a girl with pulled back brown hair wears an NPS jacket and reads from a paper.]
Wasps buzzing in nest, Dancing and pollinating, All yellow and black.
Roses are red, Violets are blue. Bees and wasps are buzzing, All pretty and true.
[AD: A woman with short curly hair, wears a jacket over a pink collared shirt and recites without a paper.]
The chemistry of natural elements is balm for humans.
[AD: A boy with short dark hair wears a hat with an SC logo and a gray sweatshirt with a Warrior's logo and reads from a paper.]
Bugs need mugs, Until we give them hugs. Gathering with slugs, Sparkling with pugs.
[AD: A girl with pulled back brown hair wears a gray sweatshirt with a cowboy on a horse logo and reads from a paper.]
"Bees' Life" Bees are bugs that please plants, They have wings that make them swing, Bees pollinate to rejuvenate.
[AD: A girl with shoulder length brown hair and glasses wears a sweatshirt with a hood over her head and reads from a paper.]
Bugs are little, Bugs are colorful, Bugs give me a hug, Bugs hide under rugs.
Woman off-screen: Yay!
[AD: A girl who has long light brown hair almost fully covers her black and white jacket, wears glasses and reads from a paper.] Lovely purple petals in the sun shining.
Light illuminates the dew drops, After the sun has risen. Creates a giddy feeling, Seeing grandma sleep.
Description
Sioux County, NE students participated in the annual Fall Science Day at Agate Fossil Beds National Monument on September 14, 2023. The theme of this year's event was "Bugs and Botany."
