TWIS #3

    This week in science,my group and I worked on our plant investigations.We kept data all week long of how our plant was doing in terms of growth.We kept track of how much water we gave them each day and how that had helped them grow.We also made a data chart based on what students like best: breakfast lunch or dinner.After adding the results together,we made a chart that showed everybody's favorite meal as clearly as possible.

   This week I learned that for some reason,the plant we give the least amount of water to,keeps growing the most.This week,I also learned how to properly organize a graph with all of the needed information.I learned how to be specific and change the numbers into percents.I also learned that the most liked meal of the students in the class is dinner.

TWIS

     This week in science,my class mates and I observed how poppers work.We observed how high they popped,how loud the popping sound was,how thick they were,etc.We had to write down the poppers variables.Variables we could change and variables we could only measure.Also,this week we started our second plant investigation.We planted three Brassica Rapa seeds in three different cups and are going to measure how little to know water effects them.
     This week,I learned about the plant Brassica Rapa.I learned that Brassica Rapa is a special plant that lives it entire life in just two weeks.I learned Brassica Rapa is a cross fertile plant,a bicot, and that it is an herb.I also learned how to change variables of plant and that changing the variables,can change or effect the plant growth.
