Science Methods

This week we talked about parts of seeds. On the far right and left you can see the seed coat, the small tab hanging from the seed is called the embryo, and the smooth part of the seed itself is called the cotyledon which provides food for the embryo. I enjoyed being able to dissect a seed, it helped me have the ability to see the characteristics of a seed in person compared to only seeing a video. I have dissected a seed in elementary school before, but this was a really good refresher on the parts of seeds since it has been so long. In the image, we have a poster we made in class discussing the characters of living things. The characteristics of living things are, being made of cells, capable of reproduction, having a genetic code (DNA), growing and changing, responding to external stimuli, evolving, maintains homeostasis, and lastly requiring energy.

This week in Lab we discussed how we would set up our ideal classroom. The picture above shows how my partner and I decided to set up ours! We were told to set up a classroom that presented our values as people, along with the thoughts and ideas we wanted to present to our future students. I really enjoyed this activity, I gained a lot of new and interesting ideas from my partner along with being able to share some of my own! I also enjoyed being able to use past knowledge from other classes about cool and interesting ways to set up a classroom!
