5th Grade is studying the main parts of a plant cell. After much research, they are now working on their models. These models are being made on shrinking plastic film, so the final product with be a smaller and thicker piece of plastic. Each student is including a drawing, label, and description for each cell part. There has been a lot of creativity involved and some great attention to detail.
It's been great to see the students apply their research to their creations.
Take a look at some of the projects so far.
Chloroplasts are of course, always green. A common refrain has been, "I want to make the vacuole blue, because it
holds water." Solid reasoning future scientists!
Take a look at our new microscope. This beauty allows the students to view plant cells in real time right in front of them. It is a bit hard to share in a photo, but this microscope allowed our 5th graders to take a look at the cells of a water plant we have been growing in the science room. The students could point out the cell walls and the chloroplasts. Since we can mirror the laptop screen on the projector, everyone can share in the views.
All the Best,
Noah Robinson
