My Whangarei planetarium trip

 On May 27 2021 years 5-8 went to the planetarium in Whangarei

My fair testing.

 In reading, I am learning about fair testing. The experiment we are doing is meant to represent the habitat of an eastry. The way we are going throw with the experiment is we have two plastic bottles that we have cut the top off to use as a place to plant our plants. 

Inside the plastic bottles, we planted the aqua plant in some sand and rocks. then filed the bottles with water.
Three times a week Monday, Wednesday and Friday we feed the plants. we feed the experiment one fertilizer and the control one water.

in class we have been learning about explanations. I was writing about how gardeners are like scientions.

 

Write to explain one of the following: How plants excrete, how gardeners are like scientists, how farmers deal with effluent, or how something works (like a battery circuit) 


 

Gardeners and scientist


Introduction

Did you know that gardeners and scientists are very similar? Well they both do the same things ; they get knowledge from observing and with that knowledge they experiment. This explanation is going to explain why scientists and Gardeners are the same.


Observation

Firstly Gardeners and Scientists both observe. Scientists observe the world around them and Gardeners observe the weather, soil and how their plants are growing. That is one of the reasons why I think they are the same.


Knowledge

Next Gardeners and Scientists also get knowledge from one another. Scientists build on knowledge from other Scientists for an experiment or something they are working on, and Gardeners build on knowledge from other Gardeners for an answer to a question they have on farming or where and when is a good time for planting a certain plant or vegetable.


Experiment

Lastly Gardeners and Scientists both experiment. Scientists experiment to find out an answer to wonderings or to find out what will happen to something in something. Gardeners experiment to try new fertilisers on plants.


Summary

In summary my explanation was trying to tell you that Gardeners and Scientists are very similar because they both observe, get knowledge from one another and experiment. If that did not convince you then I did not know what would.
