We didn't have school on Monday, Labor Day, which was really nice. On Tuesday we finished our group posters on mitosis and did a strange carousel group sharing of them where one partner moves around the room listening to other's presentations on the mitosis cycle while the other stays and presents their own. I only call it strange because it actually seemed to help me remember the different stages in each because of the repetition and having to "teach" it.
My group and I have decided we want our collection project to
be on plants with medicinal properties like yarrow, wild indigo, and chicory. We
talked to Mr. Vogler about it and he said that that would be fine.
We had a pop quiz on Wednesday and on Friday. I was definitely prepared for the one on Wednesday but the other I struggled with. We also did a microscope lab on Wednesday looking for different stages of mitosis in onion root cells. On Friday we walked up to the Lion’s Club and did a field study assignment. Jasmine knows a lot about mushrooms and it was really cool listening to her talk about them. We found some slugs, spiders, a turkey, and quite a few plants.
