Lesson 1 - Monday, Mar 2
Today in science: This is Day 4 for our Wisconsin Fast Plants. During this lesson…
1. Students updated their Results table for INV#9 – Seed Germination and made detailed observations (and drawings) of their experiments.
2. Students also photographed their Wisconsin Fast Plants. These photos will become part of the Life Cycle Project, which students will learn more about in Lesson 2.
Homework: Food For Plants packet (Chapter 1)
Lesson 2 - Tue, Mar 3 (B) & Wed, Mar 4 (H)
