SCIENCE: 4th grade: Gardening

In Science, we planted some seeds in a pot and we observed how they grew week by week.

All children participated and had to draw their plant and describe what changes they could see:

DAY 1: We put the seed in the soil and we water the plant.

DAY 7: There are some roots and a small stem.

DAY 14: There are some stems and some leaves.

DAY 21: The plant is growing fast. There are roots, leaves and stems.

Finally, each child took the plant home. 









SCIENCE: 5 senses: Tasting game

In Science, we studied the 5 senses: SMELL, TOUCH, HEARING, SIGHT AND TASTE.

And we did an experiment in class to demonstrate that our taste buds in our tongue 
can taste 4 different tastes: SWEET, SOUR, BITTER, SOUR.

I took to class different types of food related to the 4 different tastes and children had to guess 
what it was and the taste it had.

They had fun and learned Science in a motivating way.
