With some chatting/discussing what our plant investigations should look like, there was lots of "figuring out" about what a fair test would look like with plants and where they get their matter from. In our Google Meets, we came up with the following two consensus ideas for what our plants investigations should look like:
Even with the differences, each class has figured out a way to see which of the factors we think will give plants the matter they need to grow! Since we aren't together physically, we agreed to try and set up our own investigations at home. Mrs. Brinza set up these:
In the meantime, we're lucky that the scientific community is and has tried something similar to what we've been doing! So there's this gentleman running a similar experimental setup to ours in his home, too! We'll check back over time to see how it goes!

Students have been asked to think about their reasoning behind which of the set-ups will grow, and therefore, can help determine which of the variables is giving plants matter.
Maybe we should think about what matter actually is, too? What actually makes something matter? Hmmm.... |
