Crickets Experiment - Group work

Hi all,

Here are pictures of the group work done on Friday. The class discussed their observations of the crickets after 5 days and were led to theorise their observation. They were asked to reason out why they saw what they had seen and why did the experiement turned out different from their prediction.

These were the two interesting obervations and attached are some pictures.
- crickets in the container without holes for air to enter were mostly actively and growing in size.
- number of crickets in the container without food and water decreased from 7 to 4 crickets. The dead crickets were not seen in the container.

Below are some pictures of the class planting the seeds. I've also attached the slides on seed germination for your reading.

You'll need to observe for 2 weeks and record your observations in the "Every Child A Seed - My Plant Journal" given out to you today.

Nature Study Book - Plants

Dear pupils,

We discussed about what makes up a plant during your Science Lesson yesterday. These were the following parts discussed and you've copied down in your Nature Study Book in the form of a Mind-map.

Plants -> Roots
          -> Stems
          -> Leaves
          -> Flowers
          -> Fruits

I need you to think about any words that comes to your mind about each of the parts discussed and write them down. For example, you can write down branches under "Stem" and chlorophyll and sunlight under "Leaves"

Science Nature Study Book - Observing the Crickets

Dear pupils,

You have started observing the crickets since Mon and will do so for 5 days. Below are the slides discussed  on Monday. You will need to visit the Science Lab during your recess to record what you've observed about the presence of air, water, food and the crickets activity level. Do look out for any differences that you can spot over the 5 days.

Experiment 1: To find out if crickets need air to survive.
Set-up A: No air
Set-up B: Have air
(Food and water are provided for both)

Experiment 2: To find out if crickets need food & water to survive.
Set-up A: Food and water
Set-up B: No food and water
(Air is present in both)
