Immersion With Felicity


Immersion

29/5/17
Today in immersion we learnt a lot of interesting ways plants grow and what plants need to survive. We also learnt types of Non interactive animals. Our group will be setting up a fair test to germinate a seed. We will be using a paper towel,a cup,a seed,water and will be changing one thing that the plant needs. In my fair test i will be changing the amount of air that goes into the plant by flooding it with water but to make sure it's fair we will make sure we don’t add too much water. If we added too much it would not be a fair test as we would be changing two things. Tomorrow we will be planting our plants.

Its Tuesday today and we have planted our plants and I was buddied up with Siobhan. We changed air so we added lots of water to submerge our seed. It looked very drowned and I don’t think it will live long. I did my whole follow up while waiting for next block. I hope our seeds make progress so we can track its growth. My prediction- Our experimental seed will last 1 week and then start going brown. It might die.

Felicity was away today and we had immersion with Trudy. This morning we checked our plant and it had not make any progress. For immersion we learnt about food chains and food webs.This is one of my food chains: Algae , Salmon , King fish , Seal , Shark. Today I think our plant got a good amount of water and it will live a little longer. The seed is expanding in the water.

Today Felicity is back and when we got to school our plant still was flooded. We still had to water it at 10. When we did the cup was almost full to the top. Now I am unsure if we are changing 1 thing or not. It seemed like we needed to pour out some water but we have to do the same amount every day at the same time. Unlike our experiment one our normal one looks-well-normal! We were continuing our lesson on food chains then we did some work on photosynthesis and how it works. We had a interesting conversation about whether plants are better than meat. Apparently it is.We also watched a very Interesting video. It was-Weird but tout me something. I would have stayed longer but I had buddy reading. Our plant is doing well.

We had STEM today because it was Friday. It meant no immersion. When we saw our plants they were flooded and we forgot to water them.
OOPS

6/6/17
Felicity read us a story and we had to take notes. Our note s were about what environmental issues are in the book.
The Lorax. 
                             
We were learning about the pollution and the effects of it When I got to school in the morning and it was still full of water and we hadn't watered it for 4 days! I was a bit worried it was mouldy but so was everyone else's.
My prediction is that our plant will die very soon.

6/7/17
My friends and I came late to immersion as we had to go to a very important meeting. We came to a huge follow up to do as a group. We started yet it was time to pack up soon after.

6/7/17
We continued our set task in my group which includes Awetea, Siobhan, Rhiannon and I.
I feel we are a great team and got it done in no time. We had to construct a food web and our group all contributed in different thing that got our job done faster. We watched a video about wolves that was interesting and helped us realize what action is going on. We also started story called theirs a hair in my dirt. We had no time to finish it so we all agreed that we would read it later. We watered our plant late today. It's to early to see whether it will die or not.
