Week 2/22-2/26

Hope you all had a safe and relaxing break.

This week we are starting to write explanations for each stage of a plant's life cycle. Each paragraph will be roughly a paragraph and will need to cover some key questions that the students copied down in class. These will be turned in typed the day before the Plant Test. Our wisconsin fast plants are in the pollination stage and quickly moving into fertilization. We will be discussing flowers, asexual/ sexual reproduction, and discussing seed formation within the seed pods. There will be a test next week on Friday March 5th.

Monday: Germination Explanation Rough Draft

Tuesday: Plant #4 Extension

Wednesday: No Homework

Thursday: Pollination Explanation Rough Draft

Friday: No Homework

Note: Students with allergies are not excused from class. They spend roughly 50 minutes in the classroom, and there is more pollen in the air outside than in my classroom. If your student needs to take a break, tell them to ask to go to the restroom.

Thanks

Mr. Ellsworth
