Science in 4RY

by CPHM and A.S

Science is very exciting in our classroom. We have already started our first experiment! 4RY’s first unit in science is plants. We are testing what a plant needs to grow. We did this experiment by having each group form a hypothesis. For example, my group’s hypothesis was that a plant needed air to grow. So one plant was completely sealed off with no air. The second plant had some air but not a lot. The last plant had all the air a plant can have. The two plants that had some or a lot of air germinated, but the one with no air didn’t. So now we know that a plant needs air to grow. Another group tested if a plant needed water so one plant would be watered once a day. Another plant was watered three times a day. And the last one wasn’t watered at all, surprisingly the dry one grew!

Now, an exclusive interview on how your plant is growing with A.S!

Me: How is your plant doing A.S?

A.S: Its doing good.

Me: Great, got any thoughts about it? A.S: No Me: Okay what does it look like?

Me:oh wait is that A.S!? Me: well how do you feel about your plant.

A.S: Terrible! it barely grew and the experiment is almost over!

Me: Well That's okay  at least it grew, mine didn’t grow at all.

A.S: I had to replant

Me: Mine is completely drowned

A.S:Oh

Me: Well it was still fun right?

A.S:YES
