Thoughts of the day- April 15

What did we do today?

  • We went into the Whispering Woods to search for the different types of seeds.  These included pine cones, rose hip berries, fluffy seeds, winged seeds and grass seeds.  Pods seeds were more difficult to find.
  • Before that, we did another observation log on our bean seeds.  There were two new questions which were: How tall was your sprout? and What does it need to grow?  We had to list six requirements, which are sun, water, nutrients, space, the right temperature and air (more specifically carbon dioxide).  A lot more beans sprouted this week!  We now have 11 sprouts growing.
  • First thing, we did our spelling tests.
  • We played a game outside called Habitat, where half of us were plants and the other half were habitats in the field.  We would decide on what we needed: food, water or shelter and we had to run and find the matching habitat.
What questions do we have after today?
  1. Will some of us have to redesign our greenhouses to help our beans germinate and grow?
  2. Will the other half of the student's beans sprout next week?
  3. Will our beans need all six requirements?
  4. Will anyone's bean not sprout?
