KInderPals Reflection

5/22/2018

0 Comments

Reflect on the 7-8 times we worked with our KinderPals this year.

What is the KinderPals Program?
In what ways do you think the program benefits the kindergartners? Try to explain several with support.
Why is the KinderPals program beneficial to 5th graders? Believe it or not, you should be getting something out of the program as well!
What challenges did you experience in KinderPals this year?
What improvements could be made to the program for next year?
Do you think the kindergartners enjoyed the stories from Peekapak? Why do you think that? Do you have any evidence to support your answer?

The KinderPals program is a program is where 4th and 5th graders teach kindergartners about different emotions. They also learn how they will effect them and how they effect us.
One way that PeakaPak benefits the kindergartners by them learning new things and different ways to read peoples emotions. It also benefits them by them learning new emotions.
It benefits the 5th graders because it is fun to teach kindergartners new things and emotions.
I didn't really experience any challenges because it way easy to teach KinderPals.
The program was fun and all I feel it needed to be more creative.
I really trust that the kindergartners enjoyed the PeekaPak stories. I think that because they looked so mesmerized and that means there listening.

Name your Control Variables (What will stay the same for each of the three cups)?
Name the Independent Variable (What is it that is different for each of the three cups)?
Name your Dependent Variable (What is it that you are testing & recording data on?)
What data are you collecting to serve as Evidence to show how plants grow in organic material versus inorganic planting material?
Why is everyone starting with the same three cups? Why do we need to test so many plants?
What sprouts first in a seed: the stem or the root?
How do you know? How do the pictures below help explain your answer for #6?

Plants as Producers

5/3/2018

0 Comments

Reflection/Synthesis:

Plants need energy and matter to grow. Where do plants get their ENERGY?
Where do plants get their MATTER?
Where do plants get their FOOD (be careful - this is a trick question)?
Why are plants called Producers?
What would happen if plants didn't have a way to get energy?
What would happen to animals if there were no plants to eat?
What are some of the LIVING components of a plant "system"? (A plant "system" is everything that a plant needs to survive and everything it produces.)
What are some of the NON-LIVING components of a plant "system"?
In what ways do the components of the system interact?
What matter is transported in and out of the plant system?

Answers:

The plants get their energy from the sun.
Plants start with matter and it can't be created or destroyed.
Plants get there nutrients from the sun and sometimes from the soil.
Plants are called producers because they give nutrients to animals that eat them.
They would die with no energy.
all the animals that ate the plants would die out because the did not get the energy they needed.
