New Experiments

Celebration of "OREO" opinion letters

This week was a week of new experiments. In addition to having planted our Brassica seeds last week, students are conducting a new experiment involving some odd materials: pansies, water, root beer, hot chocolate, cinnamon, sprite, coffee, and Gatorade. They will have a control plant for which they will do everything they would of a normal plant (give water, sunlight, air). Their second plant is one where they will have changed one of the variables. This week, students came up with the different variables they would change (the food and soil were different categories that they chose to change) in groups, and then we started creating a lab report. On their first page, they drafted questions to ask and hypotheses to test. On the second page, we started making a list of everything someone would need to repeat the experiment. It should be interesting to see what we find out about what plants need and how different food and soil will affect their growth.

Making Helping Hands

Thank You, Volunteers!

Another project we completed this week was making a poster of appreciation for all the volunteers at PCS, as tonight, April 21st, is Volunteer Appreciation Night. So, a HUGE thank you to any and everyone who has volunteered this year at PCS. Your help and support is so greatly appreciated! I've attached a picture below of our class's project in case you aren't able to stop by the school tonight. Thank you all, and have a wonderful and hopefully sunny weekend!
