On Tuesday we made our biodomes. I thought it was really fun making it. I watched shrimp and snails wiggle around in the water. I was very excited to pick up a worm! It was very slimy. This is the first worm I have ever picked up! I liked planting the grass seeds and I hope they grow. I am sad the shrimp keep dying.
On Wednesday we reviewed for our quiz on plants; both vascular and non-vascular and their life cycle. We played really fun games including sink or swim. We also checked up on our beans and biodomes. My bean was growing okay, but not as well compared to others. It is really cool watching the progress of the socks on the wall to see if any socks had picked up spores from other spore producing plants outside from the previous week. I have seen growth over the week on some of the socks. I learned that it takes a lot of time and patience for plants to grow!
On Thursday we had our quiz. I need to improve on studying!!! I studied chapters 1-5 instead of Chapters 1-3! I thought it was a test instead of a quiz! Next time I will check with Mrs. Giacomelli before I study the wrong thing.
On Friday we dissected a bean and a corn kernel. It was my first time dissecting anything so it was a great learning experience. I had a fun week and the experiments were really fun as always.
I was so excited to pick up a worm I wanted to learn more about their life cycle. A really cool link is attached
