KF (summary and reflection) and Seed Germination

Dear 3A,

Do remember that there are 2 sets of assignments for you to complete over the September holidays.

1st set of assignment:
KF:  3A Individual Reflection View 

1) Summary Note
To summarise  what you've learnt from your classmates' notes in KF on the topic on Magnets

Most of you should have started on your Summary note in the KB lab. Please continue to work on it from home. Refer to the PowerPoint slide as attached below for more instructions.

• Do remember to minimise both windows (your new note and "Magnet & Magnetism" view) to drag and cover your classmate's note. You can't drag the note over if your double click and open your friend's note. Drag the small red icon instead  into your note.
• Save your note as "Summary_Magnets"

2) Reflection Note
To reflect and consolidate your learning  in the use of KF during KB Science lesson
To feedback to me on how KF notes have impacted/helped you in your learning on Magnets 

Create new note, complete this and save it as "Reflection_Magnets"

2nd set of assignment:
Seed Germination: Red Beans & Black Eye Beans

I've given all of you some red bean and black eye bean seeds. Do plant them and observe their germination closely. You are welcomed to try other seeds as well, such as green bean seeds.

Day 0
1. Firstly, get 2 disposable plastic cups (Label them accordingly to the type of seeds) and some cotton wool/cotton pads.
2. Pour some water into the cups such that the cotton wool/pads are damp, not flooded.
3. Place some seeds into each cup.
4. In your NSB, draw up a table and label the columns accordingly. Example,

You may add in additional columns if you like, for example, length/height of leaves (cm) and so on.
I'll leave it to you whether you will prefer to take a picture of your seeds or to draw.

5. Record your results daily
6. Water your plants where necessary. Just make sure that the cotton wool is always damp.

Enjoy growing your own little plants and observe their germination!
It's quite a fun process I certainly hope you can learn a little more about plants before we even start on this topic in Term 4!

If there're any questions pertaining to the assignments, please leave a comment (remember to identify yourself) in this blog post and I'll try to reply you as soon as possible. If you know how answer your classmate's question, do help out as well. I know some of you are already sharing this good practice :)

Deadline: 17 September (Wednesday)
You need not bring your plants to school. Just submit your NSB to your Science Monitors.

Have a great September holiday, 3A!
