Thomas D:
Today we tried to make a diagram on plants and it was really great I really enjoyed it.It was amazing what you can do on the computer if you try to. It was really good to learn about if you didn’t know about plants and it was really interesting to know.

MrKp: I really enjoyed working with this today it was called 2Simple (2connect)

It helped the children see the links between the different Science vocabulary that they need to be able to use. There’s a lot for them to learn. Deusa wrote this list to show you how much vocabulary there is just for plants!

Pollen, fruit, sepals, petals, style, stigma, pollination, germination, anchor, leaves, stem, pollen, root, carpel, seed, sunlight, dispersal, germination, fertilization, stamen, lifecycle, photosynthesis, reproduction, absorb, ovule(ovary)

Exploring Google Earth

Tools  Tagged , , 26 Comments »

This afternoon we started to explore how we can use Google Earth to help us in school.

We started by looking at all the tools that you can use to fly around the planet looking at the earth from different views. We also discovered that you could see which parts of the earth were in darkness at any moment.

We then all looked for our own houses and discovered how to mark places that are important to us on the map.

It was great fun and we all enjoyed the session.
