More Science Experiment and a project

Today is day 3 of our experiment…we checked the progress of our seedlings and discovered that we have several seeds that has lost their seed coats and the cotyledon have broken free. The kids drew and graphed their results. Afterwards we built a 4 environment experiment to see how seeds sprout in various environments. We all know that seeds need: water, oxygen, and warmth to sprout. So what happens when you take one or more of those necessities away?

Tyler telling me off about *I’m not smiling for this picture*…muwahahhahaha….love torturing my teenager. :D

Check it out, mom!

Seth looking at his (ahem, MINE) handiwork.

Four environments are as follows:
A) seeds in the lid, with no water or dirt
B) Seeds in the water inside the jar with the lid on top
C) Seeds on outside of jar on a moistened paper towel with plastic wrap covering them
d) Seeds on outside of jar on a moistened paper towel as above MINUS the plastic wrap.
Which of the four will sprout do you think???
And my project:

This is for my grandmother. The front cover of a tiny album. This is small enough to fit into her purse. If you are reading this and KNOW my grandmother, would you please not tell her about this gift? THANKS!

This is what you see when you open the front cover of this album…it’s an accordion album.

What you see when you turn the page.

When you turn Garret’s page, you get to the back cover. A friend from OSU RAK’d the metal words on the covers. THANKS if you are reading this!

Open up the back cover and you see Courtney’s pages.

Open (the left side) and you see Seth’s pages.

And Emily’s pages. Hope Grandma likes….
OK, I gotta run…kids are needing attention. (read to for nap…and I am going to exercise)
