National Science Week: Seeds of Science! 🌿✨
Marks Point young scientists have been busy this week. Students celebrated National Science Week by stepping into the role of young botanists! They explored our bush tucker garden and Findon Garden, discovering the amazing variety of plants and seeds growing within our school grounds.
Students loved using their magnifying glasses to investigate seeds in our gardens. They brought a large collection back to the science lab to further investigate. Using our DeadlyScience microscope, students were able to investigate the incredible shapes, colours, textures and structures hidden within each tiny seed.
Students explored the life cycles of native plants, including basket grass, grass trees and Lilly Pillies. 🔍🔬🌱☘️🌿🌱
Students recorded data about their discoveries, researched the seeds to identify the different species growing around our school and considered how these plants support local ecosystems and connect us to Country.
Students began their own seedling projects, planting seeds and preparing to observe and record their growth over time. 💚✨☀️
To bring their learning together, our students began designing a Seed Library for Marks Point Public School; an exciting project that will allow our school community to collect, store, share and grow seeds for years to come! 🌿🍃🌱
What a fantastic week of curiosity, discovery and hands-on learning! ✨
