Week 2 on plant unit

My soapy water plant and controlled plant

my no sunlight plant

Controlled

In week 2 our plant made a huge improvement. Everyday my groups plants got taller. Only cell 3 wasn’t growing and we have 4 cells. Cell 2 has the most leaves, but cell 4 and 1 have a lot of leaves. Later in the week Cell 1 was losing leafs and very droopy. I had a feeling it wasn’t healthy. Could it be the that the soil is too dry. Maybe it is the light. Is it too close to the plant?

 

Manipulated

Nothing is growing for our manipulated. It is very dry. I think it’s dead because it’s dry and cell 1 in the controlled is dry and it’s losing leaves. It used to drink all of the soapy water, until it realized the soapy water wasn’t good for it. Everyday the soapy water plant looked the same.

No Sunlight

The no sunlight isn’t looking great.  The stem is long and white, but the plant is droopy and yellow.  I think the plant will grow a little, but won’t be so healthy because the mix of soil, water and sunlight are what make a plant healthy.

Plant unit first week

my soapy water plant and controlled plant

my no sunlight plant

 

On May 3rd my class started our plant unit. We had a controlled plant and a manipulated plant. My controlled is a plant that we treat well. My manipulated plant is a plant where we have different things on the plant like soil, air, and sunlight. Those are the three different things you can use but the manipulated for example my group used soapy water. It is May 4th and my controlled plant started to grow quickly. My manipulated plant was very dry and didn’t grow which was expected. Now it is may 9th and my controlled is doing well the leaves are green and it is growing taller. The manipulated plant is dry and isn’t growing. I hope the controlled keeps doing what it’s doing and the manipulated starts growing. The no sunlight plant isn’t healthy its leaves are yellow, its stem is grey. but, the plant is tall and is growing every day.

 

 

ELA Test Reflection

I didn’t like the ELA test because I had to read a lot of stories and do a lot of multiple questions, short answers and long responses. Also, the test was really long. Every day we did 1 hour 15 minutes of work or more! The first day I read 4 stories and 24 multiple choice questions. The second day I read 3 stories 2 short answers 7 multiple choice questions and an extended response. On the third day I read 3 stories 5 short responses and an extended response. That’s a lot of work isn’t it?

 

Math state test reflection

 

I thought the math state test wasn’t that bad. It was a little annoying while we were taking the test. The test only took me 30 minutes! I felt confident in my multiplication and division facts, area and perimeter, data analysis and word problems. I thought the state test was pretty easy it got harder and harder but it was still pretty easy. Also, we had extra recess, no homework and we got to play on our chromebooks! The math test was easier and took an hour shorter than the ELA test.
