Science the week of Jan 10-14

This week in Science:

4th graders- Environments: This week we are planting in our terrariums and revisiting our water schedule. We are deciding if we should change how much we water depending on what our soil looks like. If plants are already growing by the end of the week, we will be using our terrarium maps to decide which of the 5 plants we planted they are.

5th graders- Living Systems: This week we are focusing on the similarities and differences between plant cells and human cells. Students are going to be able to design their own experiments using celery to look at how plants move nutrients through their system.
