We have been studying plants the whole life cycle and learned about photosynthesis and other things about plants.

The leaves looked crumpled up and an unhealthy purple after we did pollination.

After pollinating pods started to grow with seeds in side.

Our stem started leaning over and was purple.

The soil was also very dry. Because the soil was very dry it did not get a lot of minerals and water. The plant needs minerals to survive without them.

We have grown bigger pods from the last blog post. Our plant’s leaves have died and the stem is wilting.  Our flowers have also disappeared and the petals fell off. It seems like after pollinating it dies.  I wonder why this happens. I think this happens because the petals no longer have to advertise and there is no point of the plant because it already reproduced.

Our pods haven’t had a chance to grow very big so I think there will be a small number of seeds. It has two lumps in it so I think there are going to be two pods. We have seven pods now.

I have learned that  the leaves soak up  sunlight and have chlorophyll to make food. I also learned that photosynthesis is the process that plants use to make food. Pollination is when some pollen touches other pollen it makes seed pods to make new life.The stems job is to keep the plant strait and the flowers pollinate.  

`

We cracked open the seed pods and and tried to guess how many seeds were in a pod. There were about three in each pod. Only big pods had seeds in them. I wonder how the plants pollination creates a seed.

In this  unit my class has been studying plants. We had a control and a manipulated. For our control we did a perfect plant.  For our manipulated we put mountain dew instead of water.

Our controls tallest plant was about three and a half inches tall.The others were about two inches tall. The tallest plant had some buds of leaves and was definitely the greenest plant. It grows about a quarter inch a day.

Our Manipulated has not grown at all yet.  It might be because of the sugar and other stuff in mountain dew. We are going to see if it will come back to life if we put water on it.

The mountain dew one most likely didn’t work because of the other thing inside it. The control worked as it should.

1. It was my classes second day on maglev trains.We started by testing are ideas from last time.We started with a lot of strip magnets on the bottom and disc magnets on the car.It didn’t work but we felt like it could if we made some improvements. We tried ring magnets on the top instead of disc magnets.It still didn’t work.Next we put strips on the top to. It worked top as well as the bottom. It worked but it wasn’t levitating very well.

This week we learned about maglev trains. We also learned about the engineering design process. We tried to make a model of maglev trains that will hover above magnets inside a box.The magnets that we will use are strip magnets, ring magnets disc magnets and bar magnets. We worked in groups to make are train.First we went threw the engineering design process.Are first decision was two put strip magnets threw the middle and ring magnets on the sides. For the train we put strip magnets and disc magnets on the side of that. It took a long time to come to a agreement.We tested it out and we failed.We were going to try another persons idea but then we had another idea. It was to put only strip magnets no other magnets. Yet we failed again but we kept on trying. We used the bar magnets to tell witch side is north and south.It took a long time to tape all the magnets together. We also had to use limited magnets.We learned before hand that magnetism goes threw tape. It also goes threw manilla folder. We used the manilla as a track. The magnets would rest on top of the manilla folder. The box would help it from flipping over but not to much than it would fall.I also liked playing with the magnets to see how each one works.Some of them had different north and south.We were so close.

I chose football for my expert book because there are a lot of rules to tell.I did five chapters on the topic. Football is not my favorite sport but I thought  it would be fun to wright about it.I did a first draft on paper and I chose football for that but I didn’t  change it because I still thought it was a good idea. Another reason I chose football because I no a lot of players and records. In this post I put in a few videos to make it interesting. This book is about no specific team. It is not college or professional just regular football. This is my first book posted. It was really fun to write about the topic. it was nice having a lot to write about.I am definitely ready for my next book.I had to do a lot of changes. I didn’t have to start over but I had to start over a chapter. The next book i right will be about soccer probably witch I will right when I get a chance.It was so much fun to right it so I hope you will love football after you read this book.I hope you love football.Enjoy my book.

This is a football book. I chose it because it has a lot of rules to tell. I hope you enjoy the book!
