Thoughts of the day- April 8

What did we do today?

  • We observed our plants in their respective greenhouses and filled in a log. We had to draw a diagram of our greenhouse, record the temperatures inside and outside the greenhouse, we had to draw what we saw and we had to write down what we saw and what changes we could do to help our plant grow.  We will be recording a log once a week.
  • Today we learned about sun care and talked about UV rays and skin cancer.  We looked at a UV index and learned ways to protect ourselves at each level.  We checked the index number before we went out and it was at a low level.  Ways we can protect ourselves include: wear sunscreen, wear a hat, and wear sunglasses.  You can also use an umbrella, stay indoors, drink lots of water, and wear clothing that covers.
  • We did our spelling test first thing this morning.
  • We also played a game called sun tag.  If you got tagged by a sun, you got sun burned and you had to stand and sizzle like bacon.  The way you got back in the game was to be saved by sunscreen.  You had to tell them one way to protect yourself from the sun.
What questions do we have after today?
  1. Whose bean will grow the tallest and will anyone's bean sprout next week?
  2. Will more water help the bean grow or not?
  3. Whose bean will sprout last?
  4. How will we do on our spelling tests?
  5. Is there a sunscreen with an SPF higher than 60?  Does it make more of a difference than SPF 30? 
  6. Will we need to wear sunscreen tomorrow?
