 1- Go to Studyjams science.

2- Click on Plants!

3- Watch the video about FLOWERS and PLANT ADAPTATIONS

4- Take the Quiz.

Parts 2: RESEARCH and POSTER CREATION

Now that you know more about plants and the way some Angiosperm Flowers reproduce and spread around, search the internet for a special Angiosperm Flower (e.g.: ORCHIDS).

Research about your flowering plant. Include the following details in your information page.

      1-  Include a picture of your flower.

      2- Describe your flower: say its name, its color and  family.

      3- Say the reason you chose this flower.

      4- Write about the place in the world where this flower can be found. (e.g.: South America)/     where was it orinaly from? Does it have ancestors?)

      5- Draw/ glue a map to indicate where your flower lives.

      6- Search and write about any MEDICINAL uses for your flower.

      7- How did it spread (reproduce) along the years. (Flower's evolution through time)

     

Do your best and make a beautiful, instructional research and bring all information gathered to class. We'll prepare our posters in class next MONDAY (June 13th., 2017.)

Have FUN exploring!

Our Family Heirlooms

Hey kiddos,

This week has been awesome!

You are doing a wonderful job inquiring about your families' past.

Our Families Heirlooms... 

(Relíquias de Família)

Dear Kids,

Families are very important, as well as some special items that families have shared through many generations, the so called heirlooms.

Heirlooms may be very simple as an old copy of a cooking notebook of your dad's grandmother, or as complex as an old watch your mom's great granddad used to wear a long time ago!

So, it's time to bring your family's heirlooms to class, to show everyone how special these items may be to you and your beloved ones. 

We'll be talking about them the entire week, so ask your parents to help you discover, and share, this so valuable objects with your school friends.

To get you inspired, here is a great link to Joakim Blockstrom's project (a famous photographer)  about heirlooms.

See you in class then!

Have fun inquiring about the past!

Hey kids,

Hey Kids,

It's time to learn about parts of a plant.

Each parts plays an important role in the plants' life cycle. They allow plants to get nutrients from the soil, carry water and absorb sunlight to make their own food. 

To learn more about these parts check the links below.

1- Slideshow 'roots & stems' on StudyJams Science.

2- Investigate more on The Great Plant Escape Project .

Complete your plant part work and place it in your PYP journal.

Don't forget to write a little about each plant part and their functions in the PYP journal.

We'll talk more about plant parts next week.

See you then...
