What Do Plants Need To Grow?



The students will discovering the answer to this question by recording observations of four plants in the classroom. Plant A is given water and placed in the sun. Plant B is given water, but placed in a dark closet. Plant C is given sunlight, but not watered. Plant D is not given sunlight or water. The students first made predictions of what they thought would happen to the plants. We will be measuring, drawing and recording our observations twice a week.

Five In a Row




On Friday the students played a new version of Five in a Row, a game that they were already familiar with. This time the students took turns turning over 3 cards. Then they had to solve and record all combinations of two addends that could be made before covering up that number on their game board.
