We plant peas (3rd grade)

What we eat from the pea plant are the small round green SEEDS.
We have learnt that it is important to water the peas a lot after planting them, they need a big amount of water to grow.
Here are some pictures:

Bones experiment (6th grade)
Hello!

In 6th Grade, we are studying the Musculoskeletal Sytem. Last week we did an experiment with bones, to learn how they can be and some of their characteristics.
Some children brought bones in class. They had to be already cooked and properly cleaned. First, we classified them into:
LONG - SHORT - FLAT
Then, the teacher broke some bones in order to relise that they are hard and to see what there is inside.
Days later, after some investigation, we discovered that they have the BONE MARROW inside:
The second part of the experiment consisted of putting bones into a jar and covering them all with vinegar.
We left there for a week and.... what happened????
Bones became flexible!!! Why?

Our Senses: experiments (3rd Grade)
Hello and welcome everyone!
Science is a new subject for boys and girls of 3rd Grade, but don't worry, everything is great!
Our first unit is Our Senses, which is very motivationg because it allows us to experiment a lot!
We exercised our senses and, for example, talking about the sense of SIGHT, we found out that some images can trick our eyes and brain. They are called "Optical Illusions", like these below:
Also, we experimented with SMELL and TASTE.
With our eyes closed, we tried to guess things we were smelling:
Some of the children proved to have a great sense of smell!
Then, we tasted some food in order to learn the four basic tastes:
