 This week we have been wondering about whether plants breathe.

We had a class discussion, then wrote these initial thoughts:

By Emily-Rose.

By Forest.

By Matthew.

By Bayan.

We also looked at some photos of plants under the microscope to add to our evidence. When we collect  evidence, we are thinking and acting like scientists. We ask questions like 'how do we know?'

We will continue to collect more evidence and investigate further.
