Students Conduct Experiments with Growing Grass at Thompkins School

Students Conduct Experiments with Growing Grass

Thursday, Aug. 27;  7:30 a.m.-8:30 a.m.

Thompkins Middle School

Background:  Students at Thompkins have been “watching their grass grow” in science classes as they experiment with use of fertilizer and water on grass.  To begin the project, they learned how to make a prediction based on what they know and hypothesized what would happen over the course of three weeks; and then have been tracking fertilizer and water usage and its effects.  Interviews will be available with students and teachers about their hands-on learning experience.
