On May 17,2017 we learned two lessons. The first lesson we soaked pinto beans and dissected them to learn the different parts. Our next lesson came from the book, Project Learning Tree, where we learned about the different parts of a tree. We did an activity where the students acted as the layers of a tree with every group of students acting as a different layer. By doing these activities we now have a better understanding of the way plants work. We also finished our greenhouse and built the potato boxes.
May 16, 2017 we continued working on the greenhouse. We finished the floor and put a tarp over the roof. A majority of the eighth-grade class worked on the greenhouse, and we are very proud of the work we have accomplished with the help of our wonderful sponsors and teachers.
