This week for STEAM we learned about the structure and parts of a plant when it grows. This week was pretty fun as we got to look at a leaf from underneath a microscope. You could see the leaf”s veins, skeleton and markings on the leaf. We even got to plant our own plant! I chose to do a cucumber plant and some basil. We first wrote our name, type of plant and date on our cup and then we filled our cup with 3/4 of rich black soil (which is great for the plant to grow faster). We got our seeds and placed them in the soil then sprinkled some more soil over the seeds. After, we filled up a mini bottle and poured the water over the soil. For written tasks I had to write 6 facts about how plants are important to animals and What do plants need to grow?
