Scientiferrific Friday!


Happy Friday, learning friends!

We had a Science-filled morning this morning, full of pennies, eye-droppers and 
sprouting tomato seeds! Hooray!


We completed our first Science mini-lab today. We were testing to see how many drops of water can fit on the surface of a penny. Despite the 'simple' nature of this activity, it was important for us to carefully follow the steps and additional instructions given to us by Mme Careen to ensure we repeated the experiment as precisely as possible.


Now that the experiment portion is complete, we will work together as a class to analyze our data and complete the Observations and Conclusion part of the lab. Please ask me how many drops of water I was able to fit onto the surface of my penny!


And, let's not forget about those tomatoes! We spotted our first germinated seeds in class yesterday, and now they are really taking off! Today we observed that Group L has 12 germinated seeds and Group M has 9! Wow! Please ask me about my seeds: 
Have either of mine germinated yet? What is my prediction about the seed groups? 
Which group has been to space? How did I make my prediction?

Next week promises to bring on so many new Tomato discoveries! It's going to be great!
