 WEEK TWO BLOG POST Grace Stutting What did you learn this week? This week we learned about living things.  We dissected seeds and found the seed coat, embryo, cotyledon.  These are the seeds cut open exposing the embryo and cotyledon.  We also learned the different characteristics of living things and how they funtion.  How can you apply what you've learned to your teaching in the future? We can use these in our future lesson plans because seeds are easy to use, they were easy to open and see the different parts of. We also can find new lesson plans like this because living things are all around us. We can hatch chicks, plants seeds and simply watch nature and how it changes over time.  What are new or remaining questions?  I would love to see lesson plans and how students are evaluated.  I would also like to see how quickly living things like plants change over time.  I am very excited to see our seeds next lab!

I have never been the best at science but I have always wanted to be a teacher so learning in ways to teach science is very exciting. Of course, I knew science was within all we do in our everyday lives but it was so interesting to see just how important and used science is when we take a deeper look. I have always wondered by there is moisture on the outside of a can or drinking class but never understood why. It was with this powerpoint and my research that I figured this out. It is beyond interesting to know how the air around us holds moisture and the temperature of something like a cold soda are able to react to create water droplets.  Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew? I was able to relate the plunger information into my real life. I was once babysitting and there happened to
