{Plant Life Cycles}

The Twosies have truly learned so much throughout our Plant Unit!

We spent several days collecting data on hours of sunlight for our greenhouse location. We collected data on three different areas and then learned how to create tables in Google Docs to share our data. We met with Dr. Stancil and presented our data and suggestions for our greenhouse location.

We learned all about how seeds move from one place to another. Air, water, animals, and humans play a very important role in distributing seeds. Some seeds are even specially designed to travel. Here the Twosies explore with models of seed dispersal. The seeds they tested were gliders, rotocopters, and spinners.:

Next we explored how seeds are made through pollination. The Twosies made models of pollinators and explored how the mixing of pollen allows for seed production:

They also tried their hand at programming and demonstrated pollination through the app Scratch Jr.!

Finally the Twosies learned all about how the seed turns in to a plant through the the study of plant life cycles and planting our own plants.
