Updates...We are headed to the ZOO tomorrow! Please dress for the weather. Lights, Camera, Action...We practiced presenting our story about the coulee LIVE today and got to meet the other participants in "A Kids Guide to Canada." We had the opportunity to test out the technology and fine tune our presentation. There must be a better way...Students were introduced to this year's Beakerhead project. On Friday we will be having a 2 hour blitz to create a prototype. The theme this year is - "there must be a better way!" The challenge is to create something that can improve something. The main material we were provided with this year is cardboard - other materials may be added. Students will be working in assigned multi-aged groups to work on this project. A plant by any other name...Students named their plants today and began journalling the changes they have observed, and writing questions they have about their plants. They watched an informative video about how a seed begins to grow. Here are some of things students learned: I learned that the little baby plant is called an embryo – Troy I learned that the part that grows up is called a shoot – Charlotte I learned that no matter how the seed is shaped or where it is the roots always go down and the shoot always goes down -Samantha The food inside of the seed is called endosperm – Jonny I learned a lot of new words – Kenna I learned that there’s a little seed inside and it has small parts of it that snatch the food – Anneliese I looked at my apples at lunch time and I saw the seed and I opened the seed up and saw the endosperm – Hannah I thought that the seed was just one thing that sprouted, I learned that it is made out of 3 different parts – the seed coat, the embryo and the endosperm – Kenna I took the shell off of my seed and it is pure, sticky white, and the seeds in the cups are actually growing roots - Ena
