This week, we decided to investigate two of those questions with an experiment.<\/p>\n<p>Question #1- Can plants grow in sand?<\/p>\n<p>Question #2- Can plants grow without soil?<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0In our new grow lab, we have three pots with lima beans inside them. We talked about how our first pot\u00a0is our control group, the regular lima bean in classic potting soil. The second has a seed in sand. The third has a lima bean in a paper towel. We will monitor the growth each day to see what grows, and which grows the strongest\/tallest\/fastest. We also read a book with Mr. Henderson about the importance of light on plants and Photosynthesis. We learned that leaves are like little kitchens that make food for the plant. Photosynthesis (the cooking of the food) is done by using light. Our grow lab has an artificial light that will be on while we are at school. It will also turn on for a short while during the evening, to give our plants lots of adequate light.<\/p>\n<p>We have also begun talking about weather and the effects it may have on our garden. We\u00a0wrote a letter to\u00a0Mrs. Bucher&#8217;s class on Monday asking for them to teach\u00a0us a little bit about\u00a0weather. Yesterday,\u00a0several friends\u00a0came over to our class and brought a new tool to show us- an anemometer. This\u00a0tool measures wind speed, it also had a thermometer and rain gauge on it.\u00a0\u00a0To learn more about it and how it worked, we took it outside- wow did it move! The wind was so fast the anemometer top spun around and around. We also paid attention to how quickly the temperature dropped from inside to outside. We will continue to observe the weather and talked about its changes in November. We even created a weather graph to start tracking the weather in November!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, we came up with many questions about plants and how they grow.
