Don’t Tell Another Rock

What happens in Seminole Swamp, stays in Seminole Swamp. Tonight is another sleepover and all the girls are sleeping at Emily’s home. I think all the boys are  rocking out at Ayden’s home. Don’t tell anyone, but I heard that we are all going to rock and roll down the hall to the kitchen for a pizza party. By the time our parents come back at 8:00 tomorrow morning, we should all fast asleep in our rockjamas. Don’t tell a rock or human about our midnight snack in the kitchen!

My School Day

My name is Henri. Today was my first day in Seminole Swamp as a student.  I never have been to school before and I just loved learning about so many facts. Usually, I just shop all day and that is very boring.  My favorite subject today was math. My mom, Mrs. Rogo is going to give me a new “look”for my second day of school!

Alligators Rocks!

Today Zachary’s mom and grandma were Seminole’s Swamps Reading Rock Stars for Shabbat. I really liked their books about friendship. So, my question for you is would you rather be best friends with a rock or an alligator? These are your only two choices! I know which one would be my BFF. I would choose a rock because I could talk about anything on the world, and the rock would just listen to me and not answer me back! Also, please answer my blog, and perhaps you will have a new friend! After you
tell me who would be your choice between an alligator or rock, you must give a reason. If you find a website about pet rocks or pet alligators leave me a link!

What is Your Hypothesis?

So, if water does travel up through the stem of the leaf, do you think the leaf on the celery stalk will change color? Do you really think it’s possible for leaves to turn RED? If water did travel, don’t you think that water would NOT go into the leaves? If you have just a stalk, do you think that we stopped the water from going up the tubes or stem by cutting off the leaves? What do you think will happen? What is your educated guess or hypothesis?  By the way, if you find this experiment on line, please send me the website. Answer this blog, for a chance in a lifetime to eat celery!  Should we eat our experiment after we write our conclusion?  PS. Before I left school, I added more red food coloring to all the celery stalks! YUMMY!        

   
 
How to Do the Colored Celery Science ExperimentthumbnailThe xylem — or the tiny tubes that carry water up through a plant — are easily observed in celery.

This easy celery science experiment demonstrates how plants absorb water out of the soil with their root system, then send it up into the rest of the plant. By using colored water you can track the movement of water through the celery stalk. This experiment is appropriate for grade school children learning about plant growth and plant anatomy. Allow the children to do as many of the steps as possible on their own, within reason.
