(Please read on the bottom first that is the Introduction). (Very short!!!)
I Sis would like give you Part 2 of the Science!!!!
As I said we are doing lots of experiments with Radishes!!!!
I am glad to show you our schedule!!!
Here it is I will show you the first thing we did!!!!
Happy Birthday
________________
We took Radish seeds and and drew circles and put numbers on them!!! (We wrote these on a piece of paper towel!!!!)
Then we took a orange juice box and cut of the top and then we put a piece of tape and then we used that as an easy opening!!!!!
Then we put two Radishes on each hole and we drew stages of the plants until we had stages A B C D E and F!!!!!
And we made a graph!!!!!!!
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Mini Planters
_______________
We took a battery and wrapped aluminum foil and wrapped it around the battery and then we made Planter A B C and D and put lots of soil in them!!!!
We put them on the tray and wrote our names Sis and Buddy!!!!
___________________________________________________________________________________
We then Did
Four environments
________________________
We took a plastic cup and we put two paper towel pieces and let them hang out of the plastic cup and put water in them and then we took some, foil and wrapped it around one of the paper towel pieces and we put four Radish seeds and put them under the foil then on the other piece of paper towel we put 4 radish seeds on it without foil!!!
Then we put four radish seeds on the top lid. And then we checked them and the top of the lid with Nooooooo water did not grow and the on with the foil on top did grow and then the one with Noooooo foil on top did grow a little bit!!!!!!!
________________________________________________________________________________
Night and Day
___________________
We took a 2 cups and some foil and then we wrapped the foil around on one of the cups
and the other we left with noooooooo foil and we came back later an their we were shocked we saw the ones in the cup with foil did grow!!!!
But they turned out gray!!!
They did grow but they did not have enough food so they did not grow healthy!!!
Then we checked the one with light and they were green and healthy!!!
I am taking a brief brake and then I will come right back to tell you more!!!!
__________________________________________________________________________
Build a Greenhouse
____________________
We took a glass container and we filled it with water not to the brim like half way!!!
Then we put circles in the box out of paper towel rolls!!!
And we put a hole in the box we were using , and some paper towel in the glass container!!!
We used tape and rolled it up and then, we put it on the box and then we put another piece of tape strait up and we had a latch!!!!!!
_____________________________________________________________________________________
We also put our other experiments light and day and let them grow in the greenhouse!!!
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Sun Salad
______________
We took a plant that had grown from all the stages A B C D E F
-
and we took the cotyledons they tasted like grass!!!
The hypocotyl tasted SPICY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
______
The tap root tasted cold!!!!!!!
_____________________________________________________________________________
Toxic Stress!!!!
__________________________
First we took 3 plastic cups and we cut out 3 circles made out of paper towel pieces!!!!!
We put them on the bottom of the 3 cups!!!!
And then we filled 1 with salt water!!!
1 with vinegar!!!
And one with just water!!!
And we put four radish seeds on each paper towel!!!
And then we came back later and we saw that the ones in the salt water did not grow!!
The ones in the vinegar did not grow!!!
The ones in the water did grow!!!
We can not grow plants in the ocean!!!
We can not live unless we have fresh water!!!
And so we have learned a ton this PART of the school year!!!
______
I hope you like all the radish news that we did!!
I hope you all learned a loooooooooooooooooooootttttttt!!!!
