Once upon a time there was a girl and she sky-dived from a plane and landed on something while she was still in the air. She tried to figure out what she had landed on, and after two looks, she figured it out that it was a goose! She looked down and was saw that she was flying over town. She was a little bit scared because she was so high and she had nothing to hold onto so she was afraid she might fall. She looked at the wings and they gave her an idea. She stretched her arms sidewards and caught hold of the wings. It was kinda hard because she had to put her arms up when the bird flapped its wings up, and down when the bird flapped its wings down, and that was pretty hard to do. Once she held the wings, she was no longer scared. She had a pretty great view of all the skyscrapers, houses and tall buildings. When the bird landed, she got off and patted its head. The bird took a drink of water and flew up again, but she walked back home.

For our experiment, we collected kidney beans and black eyed beans, two jars, some paper towels, and some water. We rolled the paper towel into the jar and placed the beans in the jar in between the jar and the paper towel. Then, we added some water. One jar we stood up, and the other was laid on its side. We expected the roots to grow down towards the water to suck up the water, and the shoots to grow up towards the sun. And that’s what happened in both jars! We saw that roots always grow downwards towards water, and shoots always grow up towards the sun.
