Investigation 2 Review

Great work today 5th grade! 

Why Do Leaves Change Color In The Fall?

Hello 5th Grade!! Great discussion today about this topic! Here is a video for your viewing pleasure...

Based on what you have learned about plants, chlorophyll, and photosynthesis, please summarize your understanding of why leaves do change color in the fall.

Dark to light environment results...

What did you observe today with the plants switch from the dark environments to the light environments? Was your hypothesis support by these observations?

Wheat Plant Switch...

What do YOU predict will happen when we switch plants grown in the light to the dark and plants grown in the dark to the light?

SHOCKING RESULTS?!?!

Why were the wheat seeds grown in the dark....

wait for it.....

LIGHT BROWN???

I knew what was going to happen and I even got the WOW face!!!

What makes plants green anyway??  Knowing what YOU know about how plants get their food, where do you these plants, grown in the dark, are getting the food necessary to grow?  What test would you like to try next with our wheat plants to find more information?

 

Wheat Seed Investigation Day 1

What do you predict will happen to the seeds placed in the clear plastic bags? In the dark plastic bags? Do you think both conditions will break the dormancy of the wheat seeds?
