Weekly Reflection - Felicity's Immersion

Term 2 Week 5
30.5.17

This week we started our immersions. I started with Felicity's immersion which is about energy to do with nature. For example plants, animals bacteria etc. On Monday Felicity told us a few facts about energy in plants and well basically anything. She was telling us that everything has energy it even paper! I was so shocked by this fact I started looking at everything differently knowing that it has energy in it. We also did activities were we had to sort animals and plants into different categories. We were also told that we were gonna make a fair test by growing a bean seed in a cup of soil. Then on Tuesday Martina and I paired up to run our growing a bean seed fair test. Martina and I are testing whether a bean seed will germinate without sunlight. We started out planning our experiment and how much water we were gonna give the plants. On Tuesday Martina and I planted our beans and had one on the window sill and one in a cupboard. Then we gave them both the same amount of water and then we let them sit and grow. Wednesday, Felicity was away so Trudy was teaching our immersion. We talked about food webs and food chains and how much more complicated food webs are than food chains. After we all got to draw our own food chains and webs. Some kids even shared their food chains and webs with the class on the white board. Then we finished off with an activity on studyladder.
