I think its important for my students to solve problems by asking questions and working together
For this you will work in groups and come up with a hypothesis about what will happen to each plant, you can work in groups and I will give you a sheet to take notes that contains tables
We will be conducting an experiment, we will keep two plants, one in the shade and the other in sunlight, and see how they grow differently
Hello students! Today you will have the chance to work about how sunlight effects plants.
I think the plant in the shade will adapt to the shade and will continue to grow
I am excited to work in groups and learn about the different ideas that my peers have!
I don't think the plants are going to change much
I think the plant in the sun will thrive while the plant in the shade will not grow
We think that the plant will adapt to being in the shade
Tell me how you think the plant will be effected by being kept in the shade
We think the plant in the shade will not grow as fast as it would if it received direct sunlight.
This plant will keep growing at a similar pace.
Tell me what you think about the plant in the sun!
The plant will not grow because it has too much sunlight.
The plant in the sun measured 13 inches, 4 more than when we started the experiment
The plant in the shade did not grow, and started to dry up
The plant in the shade measured 6 inches, 3 less than when we started
The plant in the sunlight was growing and thriving
The water in the sun plant would be sucked up quicker than in the shade
I like using inquiry based learning because it helps my students experiment and work in groups which helps with their learning.
