7th Grade Plant Growth




By Kieran
Seen anything interesting lately? Well, here's something….in the seventh grade, Sarah has the students working on a project where they are taking care of their own plants and animals. They started this unit October 21st and are still working on it!  The plants they are taking care of are Wisconsin Fast Plants.  They are also taking care of caterpillars, which are about one centimeter long. Recently, students took the seeds from the plants and gave them to the caterpillars. Lots of mini units have come with this project, such as examining their plants and caterpillars, feeding them, and taking care of them.  It's the first time Sarah's done it, and she's very excited about it. She hopes that the 7th grade students will learn about the science of living creatures, plants and animals. You should go check it out!
