This week, we studied the characteristics of seed plants. For their lab this week, students were required to design a "wind-dispersing seed structure." We tested each structure (using a fan) to see which design traveled the farthest. Congratulation to all of our class period winners, and a special congratulations to our overall winning structure, which was designed by Kalee and Ivan! Students came up with some rather impressive and unique ideas for their structures! We ended the week by discussing plant parts and reproduction. Next week, we will dissect a flower, and we will have our first test on Friday. Remember that leaf collections are due on Tuesday, October 9th!
