Notice the scientists in Room 8?

We're starting a unit in Life Science. We explored the lessons in our first unit - on plants, the different parts (roots, stem, leaves) and how they get their energy from the sun, food chains, food webs, and micro-organisms.

We had quite a few different types of leaves to observe. Using our hand lens, we examined the leaves, recording what we noticed about their texture, color, size, and shape.
