Science of Mars Task #2 Growing Seedlings

Last week we planted beans. well not planted but put them in a beaker with a wet paper towel. I was in a group with Kyle. 

Today we looked at the beans again and for some reason mine was moldy. Mine and Kyle's were at the same level and for some reason, Kyle's didn't go moldy.

I think it went moldy because there was too much water and the water drowned it, and then the water evaporated and the bean was exposed to air.

This is Kyle's bean 

And this is My bean.

Facts About Mars

Last week for Hurumanu3 we watched a movie called the martian. (you may have seen my other post about it). We had to create a DLO (Digital Learning Object) about 8 facts about mars. Me and Kayden chose to make a biteable. Kayden didn't have a Chromebook so we took turns on mine.

It was kind of tricky because we had to ask open-ended questions. Open-ended questions are questions that cannot be answered with yes or no. It took us about 2 periods to do it but we ended up finishing it just before the bell rang.

Mission To Mars

We were challenged to research and plan a mission to Mars. We watched NASA videos. We read lots of articles about space travel and Mars. We learnt what humans would need to survive on Mars.

Oxygen, Houses, Food, Water, Protection from Radiation, Heat/Warmth and entertainment.

This is my groups plan of how we would survive on Mars. I did how to get oxygen.
