What if...?
Julie Schwarzmueller's 3rd Grade Class Experiments
Kent
Lake Elementary School,
South Lyon, MI
Today we
planted our tulip bulbs! We each planted one official bulb and one experimental
bulb.
One of our groups of kids planted their bulbs
upside-down. Our predictions include the following:
| -The flower will grow down into the ground. | -The flower will connect to another bulb and use its roots. |
| -The flower will not grow at all. | |
| -The roots will grow up out of the ground. | -The flower will realize it's growing the wrong way, and turn around. |
We also planted bulbs that were cut in half. We predicted the following:
| -Half of a flower will grow. |
| -The flower will not grow at all. |
| -Two halves will join to make one, split flower. |
| -It will have fewer petals. |
| -The flower will grow a little and then die. |
The third group of kids colored their bulbs different colors. They predicted the following:
| -The tulips will be multicolored. |
| -The petals will be multicolored. |
We
would love to compare with classes from other parts of the world! :)
