Making Observations and Creating Scientific Diagrams

Below are pictures of your children sketching scientific diagrams of their pop bottle terrariums. Although they were miffed when I told them they'd never get to water their plant again, there were some knowing looks exchanged when students discovered condensation dripping down from the top of the bottle this morning. Will this plant saga have a happy ending? Stay tuned...

 We've been looking at good scientific diagrams and poor scientific diagrams in books. From this, students came up with their own success criteria for a scientific diagram to guide them before creating their own. 

 Later, students got into their groups and presented their work. 

 Finally, they assessed their own work and participation. Bravo!
