Students are done with their presentations in science.
Amazing work on integration personalized investigations with outside research. They were grouped by their choice of questions. They then designed and conducted their inquiries, making modifications as necessary.
They collected data in both qualitative and quantitative data and used this data to make a graph and discuss results.
Then, they did outside research that correlated to their findings.
Ideas addressed were plants' response to
1. salt and halophytes, use of road salt and pros/cons
2. light/dark and photosynthesis
3. soil types and ph and nutrient conditions needed for plant growth.
4. vinegar and acid rain's impact and human response that alleviated some of the issues
5. food coloring and plant's ability to transport materials
6. temperature and adaptations in extreme climates
7. fertilizer and its impact on plant growth
8. limited space and allelochemicals and potential use in cancer research
It was an amazing culmination of student thinking and ties to outside applications and research.
Please be sure to have your children share their presentations and/or learning from this rich work.
