In Ag Science 2 this week, students learned how to dry annual flowers and collect their seeds to use for next year’s planting. They also studied different types of seeds and stem structures, giving students a hands-on look at how plants grow and reproduce. This activity helped connect classroom plant science with practical skills in the agriculture industry

🔬 Mrs. Ross’ Ecology class had a blast learning the importance of clear communication in science! Students built block structures using different colors and then wrote instructions for another group to recreate them — without seeing the originals. The results? Lots of laughs and some very “unique” replicas! But most importantly, students discovered how essential details are when writing lab procedures. A fun and hands-on way to show why clear, detailed descriptions matter in science! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬
