The goal is to reach 1200 Tiger Paws by the end of the first quarter. If they reach it, they get to duck tape Mrs. Sobkoviak to the wall in the gym during an assembly!

Mrs. Studebaker’s scientists have been learning about plant parts and their functions! The students have also been learning about the Scientific Method and today they were able to make a conclusion about their hypothesis! They learned that Stems are like straws! Stems act like a straw sucking up water and nutrients from the roots and soil and delivering them to the rest of the plant. Mrs. Studebaker placed flowers in water and added food coloring into the water. Her students then hypothesized what they thought the food coloring would do to the flower. The food coloring allowed her students to see the journey that the nutrients and water take through the work of the stem!
