Today we reviewed a few of the last key concepts to prepare for Thursday. We discussed what the word retain means, and how it could apply to soil and experiments; Tree Rings and how we count them, and what they stand for. The students should also be able to tell when the tree had a healthy year and a unhealthy year. Lastly, we reviewed Stalagmites and Stalactites as well as the ways to remember them!!! **** Stalagmites, stand up tall and mighty, Stalactites hold on tight to the ceiling. Also, have your student show you how a tree uses photosynthesis. They have movements to remember this too. :)
