The 3rd week,APR-Photosynthesis



You will learn about 'Photosynthesis" in this week.

Vocabulary : photosynthesis, oxigen, carbon dioxide, molecules

six molecules of water plus six molecules of carbon dioxide produce one molecule of sugar plus

six molecules of oxygen.

In Chemical formula, it presents as following;

6H2O + 6CO2 ----------> C6H12O6+ 6O2

If possible, PLS, Bring seedling I gave you 2 week ago.

What parts of plants help them survive?


You will learn how a seed grows roots and the parts of a plant


and what parts help them survive...


Vocabulary : Stem, root, leaf, seed, seedling


*When a seed's protective outer coating has been moistened enough,


It allows the seed to open and start to grow into a plant.


*You should bring the seed you received last week.

The 1st week, April-What is inside a seed?





















You will learn about 'Inside a Seed and Germination" through experiment.







Vocabulary : Seed, Germination, Sprout, Cotyledon, radicle









Germination happens when a baby plant is growing.





The plant is between the cotyledons.


Seeds with two cotyledon are called dicots like as beans and peanuts.

Seeds with one cotyledon are called monocots like as "corn".

This is a seed.

The seed is underground and is collecting nutrients.

Seeds will germinate when it is warm enough and also need enough water.

If you have seed wanted to see, PLS, bring any seed with soaked in water overnight to class!

The 3rd week, March-Electrolysis



We will learn about '"Electrolysis".

Vocabulary : Hydrogen, Oxygen, Electricity,

Cathode, Anode, Electrolysis.

Water is a simple compound made from the two

elements hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O),

and each molecule of water consists of two

hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

The 2nd week, Feb-Movement of air molecules



You will learn about "Movement of air molecules" with interesting experiment.

Vocabulary : Molecules of air, air pressure, push, pull, partial, vacuum

*When molecules of air heat up, they move far away from each other and take up more space.

When molecules of air cool down, they move closer together and take up less space.

The 1st week, Mar-Density


You will learn interesting science fact through fun experiment in this month.

This week is about "Density".



Vocabulary : Density, Volume, Mass

The same amount of two different liquids will have different weights because they have different masses.

The liquids that weigh more (have a higher density) will sink below the liquids that weigh less (have a lower density).
