Our Science Experiment

It has been two weeks since we started our plant experiment.

Levi G, Lio and I (Danny-Joe) tried to suffocate a mint plant by putting it in lots of ziplock bags but it didn't really work, it's now half dead. Some of its leaves are black and dead, but others have lost there colour and are white!


You can also see all of the water that we have given the plant in the bag. It still got water, sunlight and soil to keep it alive.

Classifying trees

Today we repeated the activity of classifying trees around the school. We took a stroll and took photos of plants and trees we wanted to research. 

Question - How do you know when something is a fruit or a vegetable?

When we returned to class this is the first plant we found in our research. It is called a Sweet Gum Tree. It has a very distinct leaf shape and a spiky seed. 

This tree is located next to our school hall.
