What We Did Today

We watched the "Osmosis Rap" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqKlLm2MjkI to help review osmosis and diffusion. We then worked on writing the hypothesis for the "Egg-speriment". At the end of class, we talked about the expectations for the "Story of Photosynthesis" comic strip.

Homework.

Complete one panel of your comic strip. Make sure the picture directly addresses the specific action within that panel. Be neat, clever and colorful. Make sure that you add a caption as well. We will work on this in class tomorrow - make sure you bring your colored pencils or markers.
