STEAM Week 9

My tomato plant has grown 9cm! It is now 15cm. It has 17 leaves (2 of which are still growing) It has spiky things on the bottom of the plant and the white hairs are getting long. My plant is green with hints of red. This is how my plant looks:


I have learnt that if we water and treat our plants daily (When they need it) that it will grow very healthy and tall. If we don’t look after our plant, it will die (thats what happened to mine). Instead of watering it every 2-3 days. I will water everyday and check on it. It is good to add some gladwrap on your seed after you plant it to create a greenhouse. It keeps the plant moist.

STEAM WEEK 8

So the terrible news is that my plant has been cut off. I have a tomato plant and a basil now and this is how it looks: my tomato is 6cm and my basil is 0.5cm. The red stem on the tomato plant has little white spikes and they disappear when you water it. The leaves have also grown spikes and i have 15 leaves! Here is my tomato plant:

Today for Steam we did some art and crafts. We had a variety of materials to use to create a beautiful piece of artwork. You could choose how it can look, but it has to incorporate plants. You can do diagrams, the life cycle of a plant or a plant drawing. Some people in my class used newspaper to create a piece of art. Here is how mines looks:

Im also creating another piece with my friend Claudia and this is our inspo.
