Little Green Thumbs 



Today students of our Grade1/2 classes created various scientific experiments and growing projects under the guidance of Little Green Thumbs coordinator Ms. Jaclyn Angotti of the Calgary Zoo. 






Pea Germination Experiment

Students have placed a seed of a pea in a wet paper towel..
Then each seed and wet towel was placed in a paper bag
and put in area of the classroom 
that was selected by the student.

                                                     Which will germinate faster?
                                                     In an area of the room that is warm, cool, cold or hot?




  What does water do to a 
  hard dry seed?

A small clear plastic bottle has been filled with tiny round pea seeds. Water has been added, filling in all the empty spaces between the seeds.
Finally, the top has been secured on the plastic bottle.


These students are checking out the changes in the seeds.
What do you think will happen to the seeds and bottle?

Please return the Report Card envelope to our class.
