TWIS #1

ienceThis week in science we did a marshmellow challenge,we also looked at different plants.We shared things about what we knew about the plants.When you look closely you can see insects and the patterns on the leaves.My group was fun to be in because its nice to hear what others have to say and there opinions.These activity's are fun.

This week in science we learned more about plants.I also learned more about teamwork/group work.I responded to the warm up(What makes a good teammate)and I wrote "Someone who participates and shares there opinion". I learned how to make a marshmellow stand on sticks.We were struggling to make it stand up.It was hard but we got it,it did take long though.

This week in science 2

This week we got new seats, I like my seat.We also worked in groups, it helped us figure things out.When we were working in the groups we were doing the plant investigation with the cups.The class also learned about new plant called "Brassica Rapa", we had to write a summary about the facts we found on google. This week me and my group also had to figure out what we would do differently the next time we did a plant investigation.

What I learned about brassica rapa and about some of its features. I also learned about what it adapts to,it was interesting to learn new things about it.I have many questions but enjoyed learning about it.Im wondering if it can be different shapes,sizes, or color.I also learned three facts about it,Its not fire resistance,the drought tolerance is low,and there active growth period is in the spring,summer,and fall.Todays class was fun because of the new things i learned about Brassica rapa.

TWIS #4

This week in science we did many things like our Plant investigation #2.I think me and my group are going to accomplish alot in this plant investigation because we are working really hard.I think the plant investigation is easier to do on the computer and it also fun.Basically, we'v been working on our plant investigation and writing about what else we have to do to complete it on our exit slip.On the computer we had jobs like, the graphic organizer, title, results and much more jobs.I like working in groups because you get help you dont have to work alone.

This week we learned about how to plan before doing our plant investigations so it will be neat. We also had to plan out who doing what, and how we can make our work neater and easier to find.After that we graphed it out really orginized it so we will know what to do on the computer. The class was also sketching the plant and looking at how much they grew.I also learned about how data supports the hypothesis.
