This week, students were required to design a "wind-dispersing seed structure" using the materials that I provided for them. As a class, 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 Emily P., Brittany R., and Caitlyn B.! The students came up with some rather impressive and unique ideas for their structures!
We ended the week by discussing plant parts and reproduction. On Friday, we spent time reviewing our plant knowledge by viewing a few BrainPOP video clips and reviewing the "Biology of Plants" website. Next week, we will dissect a flower to review plant reproductive structures. We will have our first test of the year on Thursday. Remember that leaf collections are due on Wednesday, October 8th!
