Plants are living things!

Fresh from the CCE garden


Today, we had an opportunity to visit our school garden which is organized and tended by Dr. Brenda Zenk, a CCE parent, and all students.  She has helped us create a wonderful garden which actually provides fresh food to several organizations and local families.  We had originally been invited to pick some marigolds which were no longer needed.  To our surprise, Dr. Zenk was working and stopped to talk with us and share some of the amazing plants that are growing in the garden.  We actually watched Dr. Zenk pull up a turnip and carrot from the ground!  She shared some kale and pea pods with us as well.  After enjoying the garden plants, each student pulled a marigold plant and placed it inside a cup.

What does a scientist do after such an amazing Science discovery?  He or she pulls out his/her Science Journal to record what was seen and draw the marigolds with labels.
