We are nearing the end of the chapter. Students should be nearly finished reading the chapter pg A 20 - A 35. Students are given some time in school, but if they haven't finished it, they should be working on that. Today we watched a power point presentation on gymnosperms which are vascular, seed-bearing, non-flowering plants. They encompass conifers, cycads, ginkgoes and gnetophytes. These are all cone bearing plants. Then we went out side and found cones and took them back in and found the seed scales on the cones. The students drew what they had seen.
We also watched a couple of short you tube segments. We watched corn and radishes growing with time lapse photography. We also watched a segment on CNN of a man growing algae to replace foreign oil. The students were encouraged to be creative.
