TWIS

                                                  
                                               THIS WEEK IN SCIENCE


  This week in science we used poppers,and also researched and planted Brassica rapa. For the poppers warm up we had to ask at least  three questions about them.Than we had vocabulary on testible questions, independant variables, and dependant variables. After that we made a list of independant and dependant varriables and asked more questions then asked more questions(10/11/11). For the Brassica rapa's research warm up we had to write down what we would have done differently in our last plant invstigation. We spent the rest of th period researching the plant than we wrote three facts about it(10/12/11). for the planting of the Brasica rapa's warm up we, we had to list at least five independant variables we can change in our second plant investigation than we worked in our  groups to plant it.

  This week in science we continued our plant investigation and also worked in groups to create different types of graphs based on what other students answered,to the specific question asked by the group members.for the plant investigation we would measure how tall the plants got since the last time we watered/measured them. When we worked in groups we filled in the graphs based on the infomation we received.

This week in science #1

This week in science we had three lessons. Our first lesson was on setting up our notebooks,starting to design our cover page, and observing plants. Our second lesson was to take the Marshmallow Challenge, and to record it in our notebooks. My group the "Ninjas" didn't get our structure to stand up, because, we didn't build a base. If we did the Marshmallow challenge again i think more people would get their structures to stand because, we would have learned from what we did wrong the first time. Our third lesson was to, plant our first seed, and record it into our notebook. We learned about what a variable is, we also took a quiz, than wrote down the TWIS.
