Tomatoes Day 1!!

So, all of the kids will be counting them, but I had my C and D hour classes plant tomatoes today. They each got 3 seeds, a pot, and some soil. When they come up, we will analyze them for the following traits:

Color of seedling leaves:

green
yellow-green
yellow

But we will have to count them fast, because the yellows die soon after they start to grow!! We will be counting them and analyzing the numbers of each trait that show up, the number of seeds that germinated vs. the number of seeds we planted, etc!!

Here is the Day one pics:



Don't forget, the Midterm test is tomorrow...and IT COUNTS AS A TEST GRADE! Apparently there was some confusion because some students assumed that the math midyear not counting as a test grade meant the science didn't as well...but it does!
