Today in science we tested a bean seed and a potato for starch to answer the question, “Do plants contain the food that organisms need?” Below, is my scientific explanation that explains what we learned and discovered from our lab today.

Claim:
Plants contain the food that organisms need.

Evidence:
If you ever eat anything other than a plant what you ate somehow got its energy from plants. We tested potatoes and seeds for starch using iodine and the potato did have starch and the seed didn’t.

Reasoning:

I know that the potato is a plant that other organisms need because it has starch.

What Makes a Team Work

Today’s essential question: What makes a team work?

Why is it important to develop the capacity to work as a member of a team?

So when you grow up and get a job it will be easier to work with others.

What areas of teamwork do you find easiest and why?

I find it easy to participate in a team because it’s more fun to participate do nothing.

What areas of teamwork do you find most challenging and why?

Sometimes I find it hard to communicate with others if they’re doing nothing and I have to do everything.

What difference does it make if you are able to play a role in the development of assessment tools?

Not much because the rubric basically ended up the same as our others.

In what way(s) do you connect this work to our Core Values: Wonder, Empathy & Tikkun Olam

I use all of those core values if I’m following the rubric.
