Plant Vascular System
This week students will continue their exploration of plants by observing the veins in leaves. I will be planting wheat seeds in clear straws to allow detailed observation of the development of leaves, and to investigate their functions. Last week, students were asked to go outdoors, observe and find ways to classify leaves. This week will investigate what happens when some foliage of a growing plant is constrained in a clear plastic bag. When moisture condenses inside the bag, students speculate about the source of the water they find. We will start to construct explanations and establish explanations of how are plant similar and/or different to the human body.
This week you should continue to work on your project Mi receta.
