Raising Seeds

Monday, September 17th, 2018

 Aim: To look at the different growing conditions and how these affect the growth of seeds.

Method:

1. We worked in groups of 3-4 students.
2. Potting mix was put into the cups.
3. The cups were planted with radish seeds.
4. Each cup had a different growing condition:

Cup 1 - Normal
Cup 2 - Red Cellophane
Cup 3 - Over watered
Cup 4 -  blue cellophane
Cup 5 - Clear Cellophane
The plants grew in their cups for 10 days before they were measured

Findings:

1. blue light - 60.9mm
2. overwatered - 10mm
3. red light - 70mm
4. normal - 10.5mm
5. clear light - 60mm

Plant growing condition	Height after 10 days (mm)
Normal	10.5mm
Blue cellophane	60.1mm
Red cellophane	70mm
Overwater	10mm

The normal seedling was planted in normal potting mix and grew to a height of 10.5mm.

The blue cellophane seedling was planted in normal potting mix, covered in blue cellophane and watered. It grew to a height of 60.1mm. The red cellophane seedling was planted in normal potting mix............. to a height of 70mm. The overwatered seedling was planted in normal potting mix, the water could not drain out the bottom of the pot and it grew to a height of 10mm.

Conclusion:

From the pictures and evidence, we can conclude that:

The seedling height was:

1.Red Cellophane- 70mm

2.Blue Cellophane- 60.1mm

3.Normal- 10.5mm

4.Overwater- 10mm

The best growing conditions were:

1.Red Cellophane

2.Blue Cellophane

3.Normal

4.Overwater

therefore the seedling with red cellophane conditions grew to a height of 70mm.

Traditional Tales

Wednesday, September 5th, 2018

In traditional tales, we've been learning how to thoroughly examine tales by gathering data. To show our understanding we modelled particular objects and animals that somehow interpret with the tale that's associated with and combined it with the others.

I mainly focused on Orpheus and Eurydice as the storyline was so enriching. I decided to do an explanation about the tale whilst modelling a rose to contemplate their blooming love for each other. I used modelling clay to make the rose and wrote a brief description of it.

As we were in groups of 4, the others were to model different tales and write descriptions about them. We were to show our learning in different ways, as long as it portrays the learning, there is an option to make a diorama, draw pictures and to paint on a blank canvas.
