I am super excited about our Science unit this term. We have called it Science in Action. Each week we will be conducting an experiment. My main purpose is to engage the children in some fun activities but I also aim to teaching them how to hypothesise and question why things happen. We will change variables and observe outcomes.
Last term we planted some seeds. We were so excited about the prospect of looking out of our window to our very own veggie patch. Unfortunately, nothing grew. Out of our disappointment came a Science lesson:
What do you think went wrong?
What can we do differently the next time we plant our seeds?
So planted new sunflower seeds, making a number of changes. Now it is time to observe.
Let's just hope some of our seeds sprout this time!
I will do a post on each of our experiments as a means of journaling our learning and so that you are able to keep up with the exciting things that are happening in our class.
Watch this space!
Cadence was so excited about planting sunflowers! I can't wait to see them when they bloom!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are planting vegetables at our house. We planted seeds in used egg Cartons until they sprouted then moved them to the vegetable patch. We are growing tomatoes, corn, carrot, beans, watermelon, and we have fruit trees too.

Wow Sophia! How exciting to be growing so many different fruit and vegetables. Which seeds plants are growing the most quickly?
DeleteI would love to know why the seeds we planted in egg cartons didn't sprout. What do you think happened?
