How
?
Answer the questions below. Complete your work in order and accomplish all three goals (above).
| 1. |
Make
a list of living organisms that add oxygen
to the atmosphere. |
| 2. |
Look
at the list you created. Encircle and color those living
things that add color
to a garden. (They must add at least one color besides green). (They are called angiosperms). |
| 3. |
Now look
at the items that you colored. Which would make a good gift that could be
given to
someone special on May 10? |

This number helps you find plants that grow well in the soil, sunlight,
and temperature conditons in our town. |
| 5. |
Work
backwards. Find out the name
of the living things that can be grown in the area in
which we
live. Use the plantfinder. |

More
conditions to include in your search: we will grow flowers

Plant
the seeds have been provided for you. Measure the soil, water,
and vermiculite you add. Label your biodegradeable pot. You
will track the progress on a daily basis. Your plant must be
cared for; all its needs must be met. Each day, count the number
of leaves you see, and measure the height of your seedling. |
