Blog Post Week #2

1. This week I learned about living and non living organisms. I learned that in order to be considered a living things, you must be made of cells, as well as have the ability to grow and reproduce. We also got to get started on germination. We learned about the different parts of beans and how they grow. In order for them to grow, they need water, sunlight and soil. Instead of soil we used cotton balls in the bottom of our cups which works as a replacement. 

2. By learning all this new information, I am able to apply it to my future classroom! Something I can do to further my students knowledge about germination would be to do the same experiment we are doing in class now. I would start off by teaching my students about the different parts of the bean, followed by what is needed for it to grow. Once they understand that process we would get started by plants our own miniature plants!

3. I can relate some of this new information with information that I knew prior to this activity. My parents have always been big gardeners who love to plant new plants and foods in our backyard. I plan on using the new information I learned, with the knowledge I already had to help my parents with their garden when I'm home for the summer!

 - Something we learned about this week was pollination. It was really cool to check in on our fast plants and use them for self pollination. We noticed that our plants were growing significantly! After checking in, we used dead bees to self pollinate these plants. We also did an activity where we learned about the turtles and their chance of living. That interactive activity was a ton of fun! - Prior to class, I knew about turtles and that they lay their eggs on the beach. I was not aware of how many eggs they lay at once, and I didn't know it was not in the turtles favor that they are going to survive! - I can apply this to my future teaching career by using the same activity we used to learn about turtles. I think it teaches a good lesson of for the students that the world can be very dangerous to animals. It was also important to learn about the impacts humans make and how difficult they make it for the animals.
