The third grade began Unit 3 this week as they studied the life cycle of plants. We completed our first virtual lab which allowed students to explore things that we couldn't do in a normal classroom setting. In this case, we can speed up time and see how a plant grows for 50 days right before our eyes. You can redo our virtual lab at home by clicking the following link.
How Do Living Things Change?
Fourth grade also began studying plants in Unit 3 with a focus on plant structure. They created vocabulary foldables to keep as a future study tool.
The Fifth graders have begun another engineering unit to enrich their ongoing Living Systems unit. They will use the Engineering Design Process to design a model membrane, which allows students control over what passes through. Students also explored Bioengineering as they read listened to the story of Juan Daniel's Futbol Frog. The story gave us some new insight about environmental problems affecting El Salvador.
