AIM: TO LEARN ABOUT THE NATURE OF PLANTS

Carnivorous Plants

Plants fall into two categories:

1. Evergreen

2. Deciduous

Deciduous

Evergreen

Find three examples of each:

Evergreen: 

1.  pine tree

2. maple

3.evergreen  

Deciduous;

1. oak 

2. pink tree

3.  plum tree

LEAVES

Simple                                 Compound   

Activity: Choose a leaf and do a leaf rubbing. Once you have done the rubbing, cut it out and glue it on the tree.

Aim: To make a filtration plant using household materials.

Water Filtration Plant

What is filtration?

Filtration is separating solids from liquids by adding a medium through which only the liquid can pass. 

Examples are:

1.  air
2.  water
3.  pool
4. oil

Materials

1.container

2.funnel

3.sand

4. Pebbles

5.filted paper.     

6.scissors

7. Dirty water

Process - ( use verbs or doing words in each step )

Step 1

Cut the bottle.....

Step 2

Put the top half upside down .......

STEP 3

Add layers of ....

STEP 4

Get 1 cup of dirty water .......

STEP 5

Pour dirty water into ......

Findings

I find that it was hard to get clean water

Write a short sentence about the water every 1 minute. 

Include 'How much water has filtered through', 'How fast it is dripping through', and 'How clear the water is'.

Minutes                          1.                         2.                   3.                    4.                       5.

Drops per minute: 1 minute

Water colour:  fogey but clean

Conclusion: my conclusion is the it takes practises to get this right.
