2nd Grade
What's Happening

We were back at the Master Gardener Building on Fair Street where we studied leaves.  We formed our hypothesis about which part of the plant makes the food for the plant and then we read a great book together called Plants Make Their Own Food.  We learned another big vocabulary word: photosynthesis.  Then we did some experiments and we generated oxygen in a balloon and proved it really was oxygen by showing how the gas we had generated fed the flame of a candle.  We generated carbon dioxide in a balloon and proved it really was carbon dioxide by using it to snuff out the flame on a candle.
​ 
Next time, we are going to study roots and stems and learn what their job is!
