Planting seeds

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 the beans.
4. Each cup had a different growing.

Cup 1- normal
Cup 2- red cellophane
Cup 3- overwatered
Cup 4- blue cellophane
Cup 5- clear cellophane

The plants grew in their cups for 10 days before they were measured.

Findings:


Plant growing condition
Height after 10 days (mm)
Normal
76 mm
blue cellophane
24 mm
Red cellophane
80 mm
Overwater
Clear
38 mm
59 mm
The normal seedling was planted in the normal potting mix and grew to a height of 76 mm.
The blue cellophane seedling was planted in the normal potting mix, covered in blue cellophane and watered. It grew to a height of 24 mm. The red cellophane seedling was planted in the normal potting mix and watered.  It grew to a height of 80 mm. The overwatered seedling was planted in the normal potting mix, the water could not drain out the bottom of the pot and it grew to a height of 38 mm.

Conclusion:
The seed that was watered correctly and covered in red cellophane was the one that grew the most.

From the pictures and evidence, we can conclude that:

The seedling height was:

1. 76 mm
2. 80 mm
3. 38 mm
4. 24 mm

The best growing conditions were:

1. red
2. normal
3. clear
4. overwatered

therefore the seedling with the best conditions grew to a height of 80 mm.

Technology- September 14th 2018


You need three pieces of the puzzle as shown.
 you need to start by taking the negative and shaped 'T' pieces of timber.
Having that done, you will need to pass the two through each other; reaching a certain point where the third can fit through.
You take the last, third piece.
 starting from the designated point, you take the third piece and pass it through.
 once it reaches the middle hole, the third piece should fit perfectly.
 it should look like this.
or like this.









once you got all of the pieces fitted, you should push it up.

after you are done assembling to pieces it should look like this and you're done.

English- September 5th 2018

In English, we have been learning about Traditional tales. We can either make a quiz about a Traditional Tale, make a static image or make a figure made out of clay. I decided to make a static image and a quiz, the static image was about The Turtle and the Rabbit. I first read the tale and then I sketched and coloured the image. For the quiz, I went on and read Cinderella and made a quiz about it, the question that I asked was very easy to answer so whoever's doing the quiz it wont be to hard for them.

We were working in small groups of four and we had to do different things and we get to choose what we do. I also learned about what was the usual things in traditional tales like the main characters are usually girls or there's always a happy ending and other usual things that happen in tales.

The quiz and the static image went well but I think I could work better, there are some photos of my work. The static image lack of effort. If I do this again I would use my time more efficiently and put more effort into my work.
