What information from our Plants and Their Parts unit would you like to make a movie about? Next week, your assignment will be to work with a group and make a movie on the XTRANORMAL website. The movie will have to review something you learned about plants and their parts.... Your teachers will show you how to make the movie. You will be responsible for choosing your subject and writing the words or dialogue for the movie. Then we will have a science review film festival to show off your great movies!

Post 5. Time Lapse Video of Radish Seeds Growing
Here is the video we watched in class after planting our sunflower seeds. These radish seeds did not grow this fast. They were recorded while growing over many days.
