Spring Science

     We planted Marigold seeds in Science Lab last Thursday, April 3rd. As we speak, 19/22 students in the class have seeds that have sprouted. Everybody used 5-6 seeds. Each morning our plants are watered and we take turns observing our plants (how many centimeters tall the sprouts are etc.). We record our observations in our Science Journals. 

Here are some facts we learned about plants. 

1) Marigolds come in different colors such as yellow, orange and red.

2) The stem is used as an elevator for transporting water and nutrients. 

3) The leaves make the food by using sunlight, air and water in the process of photosynthesis. 

4) The leaves capture sunlight.

5) The roots absorb water and anchor the plant.
