Observations Day 7 May 10th, 2012
Objectives: • I can identify and describe terrestrial environments and the effects of environmental factors on organisms. Focus Questions: • What environmental factors affect the growth of seeds? • What are the optimum water conditions for corn, barley, radish, and peas? • What is the salt tolerance of several farm crops?
TerrariumObservation # 3 • In your journal, record today’s date (5/10) and mark it as day 9. • Use the yellow question guide to help your group discuss what has happened in your terrarium and record your observations. • Be sure to consider how to best observe your terrarium without disrupting the environment.
Water ToleranceObservation # 3 • In your journal, record today’s date (5/10) and mark it as day 8. • Look at the your group’s mini terrariums. • What is happening in the cups? • Which environments seem to be the most successful? • Which environments seem to be the least successful? • How is the amount of water in each cup affecting the growth of the plants? • Do you think the prediction you made on day 1 is still accurate?
Salt Water ToleranceObservation # 2 • In your journal, record today’s date (5/10) and mark it as day 3. • Look at the your group’s mini terrariums. • What is happening in the cups? • Which environments seem to be the most successful? • Which environments seem to be the least successful? • How is the salinity of the water in each cup affecting the growth of the plants? • Do you think the prediction you made on day 1 is still accurate?
