We headed outdoors to do some science this afternoon with a question in mind. What has changed about our tulip garden and what has stayed the same? Students took several minutes to make observations about the site - there is no more snow or ice, the plants look dead, and there are signs of tulips. Students also had to figure out where exactly they had planted their tulip. Some used their previous journaling to help aid in this process while some used each other, trees, and windows as landmarks to determine the exact location. We were quite surprised to observe that our tulips had sprouted as Mrs. Wrigley's class shared with us that theirs did not (theirs are planted near the UES sign.) We then did some thinking about why this might be so and journaling about what did and did not change about the site.
